As someone with both a CS and a Philosophy degree I can tell you that my ability to write effectively and communicate well in general seemed to make a massive difference in likability compared to some of my CS peers.

You have to remember that Philosophy is not just Aristotle-Nietzsche-Kant-Mill. There's entire other worlds contained within the subject. I think a Philosophy degree, especially if the philosophy studied involved lots of formal logic and methods of reasoning (game theoretic decision making, fallacies, philosophy of language, other subjects that approach cognitive science) would have immense value in any field.

I think such a degree would be valuable in sales, marketing, journalism, editing, etc. Pretty much any job where clear-minded communication and analytic skills are more important than mere training.

In fact, if you accept the caveat that you will get out of many degrees what (work) you put into them, I can't think of a better general degree to get than a Philosophy degree.
