Career Potential

If the ability to analyze complex issues, to read, think, and communicate articulately are important to your chosen profession, then philosophy can help you achieve your professional goals.  Many business and government leaders have degrees or strong backgrounds in philosophy.

Philosophy is not just for teachers!  Philosophy is a traditional route to the study of law.  In addition, people trained in philosophy are consultants and counselors in matters of medical, legal, business, and journalistic ethics.

Philosophers study the impact of technology on our lives.  People specializing in logic helped pioneer the logical design of the digital computer--the backbone of modern, technological society.  Philosophy can be very practical indeed.
