    Love this! I philosophize constantly. Bern studying the great philosophers my whole life. Never thought of it as a potential profession! Very cool… I often considered a Think Tank. I read so much, voraciously. Something to ponder.

    I’m a philosophy major and I don’t plan on double majoring what job opportunities can I have other than college professor?… The moment anyone answers that question other than none I will stop saying Philosophy is a useless major

      Philosophy is not a useless major- what you can have it useless knowledge or rather- the inability to apply those skills in any job. Philosophy majors tend to outperform most other degrees in their respective field because the skills it teaches you far outweigh any direct job route- analytical thinking and argumentation is something much rarer than you might expect. That is what you leverage.

      I know a lot of philosophy majors go into law school.

      @the@thechocolatedonut7216ink the law degree supersedes the philosophy degree and although technically not a double major is in my book such a double major as in they have a degree from somewhere that says anything other than philosophy so for the purposes of this question I will not count it

      @soa@soalz7463an maybe if you count in job fields where the average person doesn’t have a degree and or when they have more than one degree. However are you seriously telling me that although there’s no direct job path as they get hired to do a wide range of jobs that someone with only a philosophy degree is likely to do better than someone with a different degree as in would likely on average be able find more jobs and better job opportunities? I’m not really willing to go that far sure if you have two degrees someone with a philosophy degree as there second might do better on average but you mean to tell me that as their only degree there likely to do better than most on average? I have a hard time believing this.

    Most importantly you can not fully comprehend all of the intricacies of any answer.

    Philosophy is the way of lazy people not to learn physics and math
