This is a bit of a personal item for me, as I graduated with an MA in Philosophy (and went All-But-Dissertation for a PhD). When I studies philosophy I was warned there were no jobs in the field, and to a large degree the warnings were accurate. But there are many jobs outside the field, and as it turns out, philosophy prepares a person especially well for the information age. The report cites a study researching "earnings per educational dollar", which doesn't seem to be a very practical measure. But if we look at the post-graduate employment of philosophers, you have a very practical guide as to the contributions they make to society. Photop: Quartz.
