2 years of Graduate School, Philosophy, with a GTA = $20K
8 years of Unix Sysadmins saying, "So... what can you do with a degree in Psychology" = Priceless.
The double majors are growing because people need to make money. And Philosophy really isn't a money maker. Sure there is some serious overlap (logic, programming, semantics and search engines). But when it comes down to the actual use of my degree for my work? Nihil, unless you count naming my desktops after Platonic Dialogues.
