So while my A.A or B.S in philosophy might be worthless in the everyday job hunt, but I bet if I had a Ph.D in the subject I guarantee it wouldn't take me long to get into some 6-figure position at a company in some human relations department
So many people operate under this illusion, then they finally receive their PhD (frequently without full funding since philosophy doesn't have nearly the grant support that sciences do), and after realizing that there aren't many companies out there actually willing to spend 6 figures for a philosophy phd, they take jobs as part time instructors or post docs for 40k.
