I'm philosophy minor, and I don't recommend wannabe philosophers/professors to major in philosophy in the undergraduate level.
Study something else, and study philosophy in the graduate school."

this sounds deadly wrong. i actually heard advice for the other way around. you should major in philosophy as an undergrad, but not recommended for grad school. doing philosophy isn't like the arts, where most people recommend studying something else, then concentrating on it later. philosophy is hard and takes getting used to. besides, if you're expected to teach philosophy and to write your own, you should at least be very familiar with how other philosophers write.
