A degree in philosophy is at least as helpful as any other degree in many jobs where having a degree matters while the specifics don’t.

And, yes, there are many such jobs: consulting (McKinsey, BCG,..), finance, politics (not just elected, but staff), journalism, etc.

I think it may be the degree in those cases.
