[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a rule before I graduated: I had to major in something I could be employed in.  So I [b]had to minor in philosophy. [/b]Best advice I ever got! [/quote]

Philosophy majors out-earn other humanities majors.

It always cracks me up whenever someone posts and article claiming that liberal arts majors earn more. All that article did was list a bunch of corporate executives who had UNDERGRADUATE degrees in philosophy. If you major in a vague liberal arts field, you need an graduate degree and some solid skills on your resume before you get a job. Nobody is going to hire someone with a BA in philosophy and no work experience or skills.[/quote]

Re-read the post:  Philosophy majors out-earn [u]other humanities majors[/u].

I know two philosophy majors who got great jobs right out of college, making good salaries.  They both had internship and work experience - but that is a prerequisite for employability for any student in today's world.[/quote]
