What are some jobs for moral philosophers?

Career Opportunities & Internships

<p>The obvious, and only, career choice for philosophers (who want to remain in philosophy) is academia. How about in ethics? On wikipedia (I know this is a bad source, so I'm asking if thre is any truth to it) it says that jobs in ethics are well-paid and the prospects are "good." Is this true? I also read that hospitals and consulting firms may hire bioethicist, business ethicists, etc. And what about all the new ethics centers that are being formed?</p>

<p>Long question short, what are the potential career paths for a moral philosopher who wants to remain in the field of ethics? Is it the same as general philosophers (i.e. academia), or are there more options?</p>

<p>My friends and I all gave our Philosophy major buddy a hard time, but he ended up landing a job at Facebook and has been doing quite well there for the last few years :)</p>

<p>You don’t have to be limited to pure philosophy in your job hunt, you can emphasis the critical thinking skills your degree fostered and apply them to a variety of fields.</p>

<p>Here is a sample list of possible philosophy major jobs:</p>

<p>Most hospitals have ethics departments. </p>

<p>I would think that there may be positions with any group that makes and forms policy would have positions for people with philosophy degrees.</p>
