What jobs do philosophy degrees prepare students for, or the classics? Would you also get rid of those degree courses because they don’t produce a direct route to some shitty job? Universities are institutions of learning and education, they are not merely to produce fodder for the investment classes to take advantage of, and if the investment classes want their fodder maybe they should be the ones setting up schools rather than expecting the fodder to pay through their taxes.
I studied philosophy and it helped me be a better teacher, for sure. The law students with the highest LSAT scored either majored in science or philosphy. I don't think you need a university to learn it but in a world saturated in propaganda and lies, philosphy is fantastic for helping to understand truth.
