That's a bit of a stretch, I don't think it's typical for a philosophy degree to go to law school. Many probably do, but it's not most by any means... It's almost like arguing that Honda Civic is a fast car, and offering as an example "My friend put in twin turbo in it with a nitrous kit, and now it's faster than any car on the road"...
"Worthless" in the title refers to relative usefulness of a degree compared to all other degrees, it doesn't mean literally that these degrees are actually worthless...
