Studying philosophy as an undergraduate is excellent training for the mind. Philosophy majors learn how to write and think and get the highest LSAT scores.

That said, I must agree that the doctorate in Philosophy doesn’t open doors to employment.
The academic job market is very poor.

The last time my university had an opening in Philosophy, there were over 200 applicants. This is far more competitive than getting into Harvard as an undergraduate.
