There may also be a self-selection effect with philosophy majors, who need to do well in and like both humanities type thinking and logical type thinking. Those who do not like or do poorly at one of these types of thinking are unlikely to major in philosophy. So, when competing for jobs which are not closely associated with specific majors, philosophy majors likely have some advantages, not because the employers select for philosophy majors, but because they are more likely to have the varied types of thinking skills desired.
