Well, I was a philosophy major once. Fortunately, I balanced it with something marketable--English! The "job lifestyle" that came with the degree was underemployment, and noT much cash, which I gather you are implying. But even that degree gets one past some HR filters.
I did know a fellow from a professional family who (I infer) chose to compete by not competing; got within a few credits of his bachelors at a good school, quit. Was accepted into a good graduate program even so, did most of the work, quit. Not a pretty pattern, and he reached middle age working as a cable guy. I don't say that you're doing this, but be aware of the trap.
