<p>Thank you, sirs. That sounds like sound advice. If you have any other information to offer, I would love to hear it. :)</p>
<p>i don't think phil majors decide to major in phil for the job prospects, actually all the phil majors i know either doubled majored in something useful or go on to law school. if you want to come out of college and get a job then i say double major, but if you're interested in phil definitely don't give it up (majoring in phil was one of the best things i've ever done for myself despite all the concerns parents have about it being unpractical - my other major was psych). if you know you'll be applying to law school or something then in that case it doesn't matter what you study in undergrad, so just do whatever you're interested in</p>
<p>Can I get n2 med school with a philosophy degree-that’s what I heard. Currently an undergrad</p>
<p>Hrrm… Just a bump to this thread…I am slowly but surely going to do a philosophy major… It is just what I am interested in. I have had a career without a degree at all, of course one which I am not interested in. My original major was Information Systems and the material was so dull it caused me to leave school, plus I already knew how to program. I am considering finishing it, then doing an MA to be an adjunct lecturer, and if that doesn’t work, there is always law or public policy for grad school which would fit right in to the material (esp assuming if you took heavy political philosophy or supplemented your coursework properly with math/econ/poli sci/english, as is generally required of most universities)</p>
<p>So yeah, I wouldn’t want a corp america job to begin with, and I am assuming many people majoring in philosophy aren’t of that same thought pattern either. There are a lot of pro business econ/finance/mba or in general “vocationally minded” folks on this board, don’t let them get you down though.</p>
