If the GRE is really an important metric, then it’s worth noting that the average Physics major gets the best overall score, and there are other majors between Physics and Philosophy by GRE score (math, some engineering disciplines for instance).

<p>The article makes the claim that philosophy majors make the highest scores on verbal reasoning and analytical writing. That math and physics majors score highest on math is, d’oh, not surprising.</p>

<p>

Then what metric is Philosophy the most practical major?

</p>

<p>By any metric that does not value money as the sine qua non as a metric of a successful life.</p>
