As a philosophy major, you are gaining the analytical and problem-solving skills that are helpful, and often necessary, in a number of career fields. A traditional major in philosophy will not only help you develop these useful skills, but will also familiarize you with the history of philosophy, ethical issues, and topics in the theory of knowledge and metaphysics.
Philosophy is also an excellent major to supplement an interdisciplinary major.
