Jeffrey Dorman has an article on the Forbes website, in which he computes the added value of earning a Bachelor's degree in the humanities, as opposed to stopping with a high school degree. Perhaps surprisingly, the humanities do pretty well. The extra value of a degree in philosophy, e.g., amounts to an average of over $600,000 over a lifetime.
One should, of course, take these correlations for what they are and hence not infer any causal connection. But it's nice to know that the correlation is positive! (h/t Daily Nous)
