Philosophy is one of those majors that can open a lot of best doors. I'm majoring in philosophy and probably going to get a second in math or go to law school.

So Philosophy is opening the door to you getting a second degree in something useful?

You seem to be the kind of person that most engineers (or "enginerRAB" as you so drunkenly put it) would not care to associate with.

hahah on the subject of anal, richard feynman.

phi majors get into better law schools on average than all other majors
phi majors score 2nd highest on the LSAT behind physics majors
phi majors score 3rd highest on the GRE quant behind physics and engineering
phi majors score 1st on the GRE writing by a huge margin
phi majors score in the top 5 every year on the MCAT

@ those who say the phi major is useless: you're ignorant.

seems pretty useless to me. I never planned on doing something with just the phi major. It's personal interest. I don't know why you would major in something that you're not interested in.

[Summmer.]

Doctoral programs in Philosophy are also extremely competitive.

I'm not one to rip on someone's major selection, but the stats you just provided make it seem as though PHI is a major based on getting good scores on standardized tests. I, unlike some people, love standardized tests, but this doesn't make PHI a useful major. "Never planned on doing anything with just the PHI major" makes it seem very useless. If you have the time and resources to be able to get degrees for personal interest and plan to get something else that you can use in a career, more power to you. And people major in something theyre not interested in all the time... because it provides them with a high paying job. No one is really interested in Occupational Safety + Fire Science, but it pays well and has a wide selection of job opps so people are seeing the "usefulness" of the degree.

"I'm a liberal arts major, would you like fries with that?"

Based on similar past situations, this post is going to make you mad Logan. I don't think the purpose of his post was to boast about how great PHI majors do on standardized test but, to imply that their high test scores are used to get into law schools and other well-paying programs.

Edit: Most 'good' PHI programs are fully funded.

I meant that as in just doing that, and nothing else. I'm 99% sure I will be going to law school once I finish, and getting my Phi degree with an emphasis on Logic will definitely help when I get there. Philosophy makes you sharper, which is why they score higher.

I do understand that people major in stuff that doesn't interest them simply because of the money, but for me that makes absolutely no sense. I could easily switch back to majoring in ME for the money, but I would hate my life.

and I always lol @ the fries joke. It's so goddamn true 99% of the time hahahaha
