or After law school?
If law school is the next stage of philosopher. As shown in surveys.
Which branch in the government will he be? Judicial, excutive, or legislature? How hard is it to work for the government?
Why do english majors and criminal justice goes to law school? Of whom after laws school will dominate, the majors of philosophy, english, or criminal justice?
I wonder will this thread move to social science?
Back to their room, I suppose.
They get together with their buddies and write a really good book.
a lot of philosophy and english majors get their masters/doctrate degree and then head back to college to teach the subject. writing books usually comes with the territory.
I hope to take my career to professorship teaching but want to emphasize in Eastern Philosophy. It means I will ahve to travel for some time…so sad 
I’m an English major with a philosophy minor. I plan on going to grad school to obtain my PhD. I’m not interested in attending law school. I’d like to teach at the college level and write on the side.
I dunno… we’ll find out in about a year I suppose.
I plan on going into writing of some caliber so I’ll likely head into journalism after graduating. After that I’ll spend my days slowly dying inside as I conform my inner writer’s voice to some corporate standard which I’ll likely detest with every fibre of my being.
After night after night of releasing my inner frustrations onto the page I’ll realize my anger towards the world is clouding my creative voice and that I’ll never write ‘the novel’. It’ll be at this point I’ll leave my girlfriend at the time --provided I’m enthused enough to actually talk to a woman in the first place-- to leave and travel the east.
By this time, traveling to the east will be a silly and nearly suicidal venture as the conflicts being manufactured there are bubbling to the brim of utter insanity.
And so, I’ll sit, with the violence I’ve studied playing out around me in some Iraqi opium den, spilling out my inner wisdom as the nukes engulf the planet.
Or… maybe not.
A really good book. Like, the best book ever written.
First and foremost, my thread has been revised and edited, must have been due to the staff.
But about the stuff you guyz chat, now you all are making real practical sense. About people writing books, well you could write books but most of the time, it is not that easy. Will there be many audience, will is get publish?
I am surprise no one is going to law school.
Old Gobbo is going to graduate with a philos degree in one year like me.
And he is having no fear unlike me. Why journalism old buddy?
Well… it’ll enable me to write in fashion or another and get paid in money, which I can then trade for goods and services.
Funny that I find this thread, I am about to choose between Eng, Phil, or Poly Sci major and because of that I automatically think of the next step as being law. Not sure though.
If you are unsure now, most likely you would be unsure like me now to the boiling point of graduation.
There will be numerous college graduates pooring out each year. So what is so special about you, if you did not came out of recognized schools like princetion or yale?
Unless you are so confindent , and so undoubtful and never been discourage you will do what you set out to do. Like Old Gobbo seems, full of courage and confidence that he will be a journalist. But if failure comes there will be depression.
I’m majoring in Philosophy at Ohio State. Once I graduate, I hope to attend New York University for my PhD though that may be a bit of a stretch.
Is that our only choice getting a phd and teach the same bs all over again?
LOL
Daddy what do you want to be when you grow up!
Teaching is only part of it. You can also research any topic that interests you. You can contribute new ideas and, being a professor, people are bound to show more respect for what you say. If you truly love philosophy, being a professor should be the ideal career.
lol this is why you should either double major, or minor in philosophy, never just major alone. The main reason i believe this to be true is because, most of philosophy has already been built, the foundation laid (Plato, Aristotle) then the bricks lain (Decartes, Spinoza) and finally the concrete poured (Sarte, Nietzsche). Now unless your one hell’ of a rooftop, you have your work cutout for you to make it.
Remember, the only place history majors ever make it in history books is on the cover page.
Can’t you remodel this House of Philosophy Already Built though? Like, add an extra kitchen, or some new carpeting or build an attached garage as a weekend project? I believe that philosophy has some leaky pipes and dead light bulbs that could use a logical handyman to fix…
Even if you don’t contribute truly groundbreaking ideas, you’ll almost surely contribute something. And I think I would enjoy teaching the subject as well.
The dole office.
