Interesting counter. My point is more about what a person actually takes from the degree. (Logic, comprehension, reason, and causality) This translates well into many pre master program tests (LSAT's, Series tests for stock brokers are another example) very well as these are the skill sets required.
Of course, many Phil majors DO fit the mold of pot smokin' slackers, but that's not the degrees fault! You'd be surprised at how many do go to law school, teaching, or choose a career path that uses their talents. If they can handle the subsequent tests (again, not the degrees fault)

All Doctors, teachers, and most businessmen have to 'supercharge' their initial degrees as well. Interesting discussion
