| I have come to the conclusion that a double major with philosophy as one of the majors is better than a philosophy major alone. I am a philosophy major myself, but I think perhaps due to a misunderstanding of what philosophy is, few people think highly of philosophy. So if you are concerned with employment at all, then a philosophy major alone may be a bit of a setback. But if you double major with another major in a more recognized discipline (such as math or physics), then you can also give potential employers a kind of guarantee that you are not merely in some easy, wishy-washy discipline. |
