(See link below) Further, the American Bar Association recommends philosophy as an excellent precursor to a law degree because it conveys important information in problem-solving, the development of arguments, critical reading, writing, and editing.
• Social Work: Many philosophy majors find that their degree will complement a Master of Social Work degree and go on to be social workers, having been equipped with both a strong foundational knowledge of philosophy and high morals. Both qualities are essential to working in a field that requires a high degree of interpersonal knowledge, confidentiality, and tact.
• Psychology: A philosophy degree is very helpful for future psychology majors. Philosophy students learn to communicate well with people and introduce new theories to the world. In addition, they learn to develop the capability of critical analysis. These skills are vital instruments for practicing psychologists, which is why many universities offer double major programs in philosophy and psychology.
• Teaching: Some philosophy majors plan to go on to graduate school with the goal of teaching philosophy at the college level. For these students, a major in philosophy is the best undergraduate preparation.
• Theology: For those that want to pursue a graduate degree in theology or enter into ministry, an undergraduate degree in philosophy can provide a solid basis for different worldwide viewpoints, discerning and interpreting Biblical arguments, and the basis for ethical behaviors. 
• Politics and Government: Many politicians, legislators, and government officials globally have philosophy degrees, which have provided them with a solid foundation of morality, empathetic thought, and critical thinking. Additionally, political philosophy is an area of study all its own which examines political decision-making and social policies of both contemporary and historical societies.
• Business: Future Masters of Business Administration students will be well equipped with an AA degree in philosophy. MBA students must complete either a GRE or GMAT prior to entering graduate school, and philosophy majors consistently outperform their peers. In fact, according to the Educational Testing Service, philosophy majors were the highest-performing students out of all majors, surpassing physics and astronomy, English, political science, and mathematics majors.
