Then instead of being judgmental and slamming the degree, open your mind and see what he's doing with his degree. The same as you would expect from a man who thinks your degree and line of work (and overall interests) sound like a ridiculous waste of time. As you probably know, there are people with philosophy degrees who make more than you may ever earn and that's because most majors and degree fields include a range of careers and jobs.
Plus, you're most likely thinking of a B.A in philosophy--which isn't a total waste, either. But, I don't think in terms of college majors. I think in terms of masters, doctorates, juris doctorates, and so forth. People don't pursue those with the expectation to pontificate as to whether the customer wants their chicken fried or grilled.
All in all, when it comes to dating and sustaining relationships, don't be that which you despise and give what you expect to get.
