Dr. Work, guardian.co.uk
"Being
a philosophy graduate makes you different and quirky;
turn that into your unique selling point." >>>
In
a New Generation of College Students, Many Opt for the
Life Examined.
By Winnie Hu, April 6, 2008, NY Times
"When
a fellow student at Rutgers University urged Didi Onejeme
to try Philosophy 101 two years ago, Ms. Onejeme, who
was a pre-med sophomore, dismissed it as “frou-frou.”
“People sitting under trees and talking about
stupid stuff — I mean, who cares?” Ms. Onejeme
recalled thinking at the time. But Ms. Onejeme, now
a senior applying to law school, ended up changing her
major to philosophy, which she thinks has armed her
with the skills to be successful. >>>

Ways of Thinking, Ways of Living
By Geri Radacsi, Central Connecticut State
University
"...Because
philosophy majors hone logical and reasoning abilities,
they can do exceptionally well on the GRE, LSAT, and
GMAT, as well as in law or graduate school. Graduates
can adapt to a shifting career marketplace and excel
in teaching, publishing, sales, information and digital
technology, the ministry, counseling, and management..."
