A Confused/Dazed/Blundered/Helpless Student in Search of Some Answers

<p>Is the major Philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin, in relevance to a business major, oh, say, accounting??</p>

<p>I'm stuck in the loop between doing a lliberal art (I'm reallly interested in philosophy) and doing a business (which goes hand-in hand w/ law, my intended career; and my parents are pushing for business) and I've got no idea which one to choose. I was thinking that I needed a "semi-easy" major, or a major that wasn't impossible to get a 3.8-4.0 especially since Law School Admissions are so heavily numbers based.</p>

<p>I really would like to do philosophy and learn more about it, but frankly, I'm just not that convinced since I know so little about the subject. Business seems like the best route to a law school, especially since it coincides with Law, and it gives me a great backup.</p>

<p>With that being said, back to my original question. How hard is philosophy, and what do you think I should major in, considering GPA as one of my higher priorities.</p>
