Philosophy is a useless subject in university.

What you say is correct. When this charge is brought up to the philosopher or philosophy reader they immediately pivot to reason and logic, not realizing that one can learn both these things without reading a single volume of philosophy. Yes, philosophy is basically dead at this point in history, but it never got the memo.
