dirtyfilthyliberal asked: What are you planning to do with your philosophy degree? I had the scary realization the other day that I'm two years from getting my phil B.A. and that I'm going to be confronted with having to answer that question myself, not that I'm not already being asked that by my father a billion times a day.

I plan on going on to attaining my PhD and then becoming a professional philosopher, teaching at universities and writing books/papers my whole life. I’ve met up with the scary realization more than once that there may not be any jobs for me when I finally get that PhD, but I’ll have to cross that bridge when I come to it.

Philosophy degrees are good for going into law or any other kind of job where you would need good writing and speaking skills. And employers also love when an employee can think critically.
