How well do philosophy majors do in life?

I do not consider GMAT, LSAT, GRE, SAT and ACT test takers more intelligent people. Just tests written by the Edu-Gov complex.

I also learned a ton from history and genealogy. Most studied on my own. One who majors in History vs general Gen-Ed courses are not the same thing. I respect a history major....GenEdu not so much.

I don't believe there is any propaganda in this area. I'm not the conspiracy theorist type who thinks the government is out to get me. Gen ed requirements have nothing to do with people having unsuccessful goals. The government is not pushing for people to major in non-STEM fields; it's doing the opposite.

I learned a lot from gen ed courses/tests. I learned which subjects I like and which subjects I don't like. This helps when choosing a career. I learned more about history and how the government operates. Some people don't see the value in knowing your own history and civics, which I think is pretty dumb. I think everyone should be required to take statistics and/or research methods. They would make less illogical conclusions and be able to scrutinize questionable studies.

Why do philosophy majors tend to score so high on graduate admissions tests? One possible reason is that more intelligent people choose to major in philosophy. Self-selection bias is something you learn about in statistics. Another possible reason is that philosophy coursework helps build analytical skills.
