<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I plan to major in philosophy, but I'd like to add some "practicality" to this degree by double majoring with something else. I had planned on combining philosophy with business management.</p>
<p>I'm still fairly confident that this is the route I will go, but today I spoke to the chair of economics at my school, and he was telling me more about that particular field of study.</p>
<p>What I took away from our meeting is that economics is sort of like sociology through a money paradigm. Sounds interesting enough!</p>
<p>Now for a little about me: I greatly enjoy thinking about issues and problems of various scales and figuring out solutions for them. I love the concept of abstract thinking and then cleaning it all up to present logical and coherent ideas. I LOVE writing. My main issue, though, is math. I've never been a good math student, and I've always avoided working with numbers (I hated physics, too.)</p>
<p>I'm not really sure of what I would like to do later on in life, but I could see myself becoming an entrepreneur or doing something else that requires leadership and creativity. </p>
<p>Is economics really so much math? The man I spoke to today said I could definitely manage it, but warned me that the average grade for the economics major is a B. </p>
<p>What would be the wisest major to combine with philosophy for a guy like me?</p>
<p>Thank you all very much in advance!</p>
