[quote=Anonymous]DH and I were both philosophy majors in the dark ages (late 80s), and even went to grad school for it. I have never lacked for gainful employment - admittedly, we entered a relatively strong job market where smart liberal arts majors willing to work hard could get an entry level job, gain experience and move up from there. It gave us a great foundation, a classical education, cultural literacy, the ability to think and most importantly - analyze arguments and write. I agree that it's great preparation for the study of law, but also computer programming and accounting and tax. The same minds that are good at philosophy seem to be great at those things. If a student is passionate about philosophy, and is willing to accept limited job prospects (or great grad school prospects) and/or working hard to network and get an entry level job in a decent organization, then why not let them study it? Must every college education be vocational training?[/quote]
