    Philosophy is actually a great major to have.

    It just means you have been thought how to think well.

    So any job that leans on critical out-of-the-box thinking benefits from a mayor in Philosophy. Like problem solving, social deductions, critical reading, …

    Having someone on your team like that helps avoiding mistakes during projects.

      All PhDs are doctors of philosophy. That’s what the Ph stands for. Doesn’t mean they majored in philosophy. So you can have a doctorate of philosophy in engineering or English or even medicine and be one of those crazy MD-PhDs.

    …because so many of us become lawyers.

      I’ve always wondered why.

      Is it because you guys are really comfortable going over the minute details in anything written and finding everything that supports one thing or flaws an argument?
