<p>My end goal is to get a PhD in philosophy, and contrary to intuition, I've had numerous philosophy students recommend that I either just pursue a B.A. in mathematics or dual major in mathematics and philosophy. Apparently, a B.A. in philosophy isn't too useful, and a mathematics degree will look good to a philosophy PhD program. However, I'm not sure if a mathematics degree will be feasible since I will have only completed up to Calculus I by the time I transfer. I'll leave this issue aside for now.</p>
<p>I'm also extremely interested in filmmaking, and I would like to get a background in this sooner rather than later. So this leaves me with the three educational pursuits I need to balance against each other: philosophy, mathematics, and filmmaking. A triple major would probably just be impossible, so I need to come up with a combination that makes the most sense. </p>
<p>One option is to just dual major in mathematics and filmmaking and take upper level philosophy courses as electives. This way, I would have the math degree for brownie points, but demonstrate a strong background in philosophy. By that same token, however, it seems that I could major in philosophy and just take upper level mathematics courses.</p>
<p>What would you guys recommend and why?</p>
<p>P.S. I know none of these fields offer much financial stability, but that's not a big deal to me.</p>
