I completed my PhD in philosophy 20 years ago, taught as an adjunct at several universities and then left academia and happened into an entry level IT position. I make a great living as a consultant, work from home and use the critical thinking, research, writing, and presentation skills I learned in grad school everyday. If you love what you are studying, aren't going into debt, and have realistic view of future career opportunities, stay in school.

What would you advise a person to do who is progressing towards their degree in philosophy and is constantly told they are wasting their time and money; that they should focus on something else and save the philosophy degree for later?

Listen and apply the advice. :) My advice, which is certainly not infallible, would be to get a degree in a career that excites you while also allowing you to earn a living for you and your family, and if you truly love philosophy: study it in your recreation time.

You can always get your bachelor's degree in philosophy, then get your master's degree in anything else. I know several people that got their bachelor's degree in business, then went on to get a master's degree in a geology. Just getting a bachelor's degree in anything opens up more options.

I went to college for philosophy. My degree is in Visual Communication (don't ask, liberal arts colleges are weird) but something like I like to tell them is that philosophy is everywhere and uses in everything. You know that comment about math? The one that I'm sure all mathematicians have heard and hate above all other questions: When am I going to use this? Or Why do I need this? The answer is often: You use math for everything. Math is everywhere. Philosophy is the same way. Every time you ask a question and search for the the answer, you use philosophy. Everytime you learn to see something differently, or try to understand someone else's point of view you're using philosophy. It is literally the root of all knowledge. Well, actually it's literally the love of knowledge but same diff.
