well...I did miss this thread first time around..

yep, as 'spaw said, I also have BA in Philosophy, and actually earned $2000 at it as a graduate teaching assistant! Had ½ a Masters thesis on A.N. Whitehead written when...umm....life happened and the world didn't seem to NEED many philosophers..*sigh*...but I never feel like it was wasted time, as Philosophy gave me tools for thinking that I use every day.

(I always justified my major in Philosophy as "an excuse to meddle in everyone's business"!)

Oh...I have used that degree to get a beer for $3-4 at the local pub!
