Ik houd werkelijk van filosofie, maar I' m het denken aan het gaan in zaken (krijg een MBA) of (misschien) wetsschool. Op dit ogenblik I' m dat momenteel bij het majoring in economie plant, omdat I' m thinkin' I' ll ga in zaken. Ik weet dat het minoring in filosofie een optie is.

Als I belangrijk in filosofie, dat goed voor wetsschool zijn? Welke banen kon ik met het krijgen? Om het even welk in zaken?

Well I ended up with a BA in Religious Studies and a BA in Art History. I just started a job 5 months ago and make almost $40K in a mid-sized town in Oregon working for a manufacturing company. I do the quoting for large units and will eventually become a manager. If I moved to the city an hour and a half away, I would be making between $5K-10K more.
I started out in Biology and then hated the classes, so I switched to Art History…then I took a religion class as an elective and fell in love with it. Since I had so many credits in Art History, I got that degree….but I have a major passion for studying ancient Christianity. I would love to go to grad school for it some day and become a professor.
In my mind at least, I knew I was going to owe over $40K for my education, and I decided that I wanted to make a monthly payment for an education that I truly enjoyed getting. If I was paying for some (stupid) degree that I didn’t really care getting and then was in some job that I hated because I had a degree in that field, I would be pretty pissed about paying a $350 monthly payment for the education.
If you are really serious about becoming a lawyer because you are truly interested in law and believe you would really enjoy it, then I would get some degree that would get you into law school, and then minor in philosophy.
You can get onto some law school websites and look at their programs…then see which ones you’d like to apply to and what their admission requirements are as far as undergrad degrees goes.
These days, most employers just care that you have a four year education and bachelors, they don’t care in what. You will have to do some homework to see what type of jobs that you might want to do, just to verify what degrees you should go for, but you may find that a philosophy degree might be okay. It really just depends on what you want to do in the future. It is always best to be prepared to go on to grad school, that much I can tell you. That way if you decide to go later on, you will have done the leg work already and won’t have to take any undergrad classes first.
