It's as useful as you want to make it. I got an undergraduate degree in philosophy, and found that it prepared me very well for law school. Any course of study which teaches critical thinking and writing skills is useful, imo.

Perhaps, but writing skills I got from English, Creative Writing, and Literature 101 & 102. As for critical thinking, I've been doing that my whole life and some would argue (and I know several people who agree with me) that philosophy isn't meant for critical thinking, it is meant for conjecture only. Philosophy doesn't solve, it only analyzes.


However, I don't really care all that much - just playing Devil's advocate. Tongue
