<p>I have great interest in philosophy and I always wished that I can major in it. However, what jobs can I go for after graduation as a philosophy major? I will have a daughter to raise in the future and I don't want to be jobless and powerless in real life. I don't know what to do, but I do know there will be sacrifices need to be made. </p>
<p>Any tips on majoring in philosophy? I'm currently in a community college and will try my best to apply as a transfer student to UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>"I don't want to be jobless and powerless in real life" </p>
<p>powerless? </p>
<p>there's plenty you can do with a philosophy major. although a lot of things would probably require grad school. talk to the philosophy program at the schools you're considering to find out what some of their grads have done.</p>
<p>In all honesty, a lot of the philosophy majors I've come across (not too many) seem to have a hard time finding jobs. Even though they are set up with a nice Lib Arts education, they don't have anything "tradeish" enough to contribute. Post degrees usually work in favor when it comes to teaching.</p>
<p>tips on majoring in philosophy: do it.</p>
<p>philosophy major basically requires you to think really hard and really clearly about a lot of things that others don't spend much or any time thinking about. that's a really beneficial skill and, especially when graduate schooling is pursued, will allow you to get a job countless places.</p>
<p>powerless you will not be.</p>
<p>ps are you pregnant and applying to Berkeley? ambitious.</p>
<p>double major</p>
<p>^ that's what i'm doing. also highly recommended, not that you couldn't be successful with just a philosophy degree.</p>
