    Unless you have connections to a publisher as a writer, I can't see it being as exactly "stable."

    If you can get a job in academia with a phd that is the only way you will have job security.

We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”

    It can be a good undergrad degree for a law JD.

    LUL, wouldn't it be easier for you just write in google what are the best degrees in the the world?????
    I don't see the point asking all those questions.

    Philosophy is another useless degree to be honest, if you want money - Chemist, IT, Doctor, Engineering and Bussiness/Finance.

    Accounting too even though people find it monotonous and get CPA certified; a lot of stability.

    Are you a lawyer by any chance?

    Philosophy is unfortunately overlooked these days, the class back in my school ended up tanking because there was not enough intake.
    As others have mentioned you could maybe use it to get into publishing - not completely sure though tbh.

    No degree is useless. that said if you wanna earn some money you should pursue with a masters degree in a more marketable field.
