<p>@Cayton People who major in philosophy normally do it because they are interested in the major, they don’t do to get a job. I guess what I really meant is that a degree in philosophy will not lead to a direct job path, which can be seen in the high unemployment rate of philosophy majors. But I think you’ll be fine. From what I seen on CC, you seem like a really smart and articulate person, so it’s not like you’re the average philosophy major. Your chances of finding a job are much higher.</p>
<p>@Lindyk8 I think what led to all those people being successful was not their major, but their intellect and strong work ethic. Those people would have probably been really successful even if they had not gone to college. Even if you disagree with Mitt Romney’s politics, you can’t deny that he is a very smart man. However, that is not most people, which is why they need good majors if they want to find a good job.</p>
