[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the philosophy majors I've met have always been super smart. Not a philosophy major, but I think that degree gets a bad rap.[/quote] People who understand what the study of philosophy entails (complex analytical thinking and writing) don't give it a bad rap. People who think it entails sitting around talking about the meaning of life give it a bad rap.[/quote]Yes, I'm not a philosopher but I'm married to one. If you apply yourself, philosophy teaches you to think logically and write well. There are lots of jobs for people who can do that. The problem is that no one hands you a job when you graduate from college. You have do informational interviews and get out and meet people and sell yourself. As a former theology major, I can tell you it was a blessing in disguise because it was so useless. That meant I had to start with my own interests and pursue them and figure things out. Today I'm a social scientist and I make a decent living.[/quote]
