I didn't know this! I was under the impression that philosophy students use it in addition to another career and mostly make money off the other career, right?

My experience was good. But it's a big umbrella, and the most vocal/public aren't always representative.

At least in *analytic* philosophy. Continentals are the worst about this. WAY worse than any sociologist, historian, or literary analyst that I've read.

I wouldn't study philosophy (or any subject) because I thought it would make me a better thinker in some general sense. I think you study it because you're interested in the material.

There's not a very high correlation between the good parts of philosophy and getting the degree. Mostly to BA, you just have to read texts and regurgitate/rehearse arguments in them. And then you write something that responds, but your response doesn't have to be good.

They stress clarity and precision in writing. But don't really teach you got to come up with original, creative, or successful arguments.

There are bad engineers with engineering degrees, bad businesspeople with business degrees, and bad thinkers with philosophy degrees. Not sure there is use universalizing from the bad iterations.

Philosophy is good and can give you lots of tools for critical thinking, but it’s not a silver bullet. Lots of other factors can push you in the other direction, where you use the reasoning skills and knowledge you gain in order to reinforce your bad thinking.
