If you have a taste for high altitudes; if you are not looking for an idea, or a person, to follow; if you value honesty above certainty, and freedom of thought above all else, then - possibly - a Degree in Philosophy may be just the thing you are seeking.

Philosophy is not job-training for an entry-level position. It is education for a lifetime. What fits the job description of entry-level positions is rarely what is required for career and life fulfillment, especially given how rapidly the needs of employers, social and economic patterns, and personal circumstances change.

Most students who major in philosophy study it for its intrinsic interest. Relatively few people become professional or academic philosophers. For most, the professional lives are spent in other endeavors. Most graduates in this degree by far build careers in such area as law.

Your philosophy degree will prepare you generally for any career or position which does not resuppose a fairly high degree of technical training, of the sort which would be required to get a degree in mathematics or one of the sciences.
