LR and AR scores on the LSAT correspond directly to courses in logic, which is the first recommendation any LSAT prep/advisory program makes. It also corresponds to the GRE and the MCAT, because most questions have a syntax that can immediately disqualify one or more answers.

Up to a certain point, I agree.

I don't really care to argue about this, because it's a circular argument, but if you think it's solely because philosophy majors are intelligent (fyi, like "most" people in any field, they are completely average) you are amazingly ignorant.

Fair enough. I was wrong. For the bottom 75% philosophy can help them get better scores.
On another note, the median student in Mathematics is certainly much smarter than the median student in Education. Not all fields of study are the same.

Also, there are almost no undergraduate programs in the United States that teach students skills to do their job "the first day in the door." Every industry has on the job training.

And some majors require less training than others. This is not simply a yes/no situation. It's a continuum.

All these moronic debates inevitably come back to one thing: it's a large issue, and there are a multitude of factors that play a role in everything in life, and undergraduate years--if your interest is long term wealth creation--should be spent developing skill sets regardless of the major chosen or courses taken.

And some majors leave students with better skill sets than others (the point of this thread).
