<p>What are the career prospects for a philosophy graduate?
How often do you meet a philosopher? It almost goes without saying that the study of philosophy is not vocational and an undergraduate philosophy degree, even from one of the world’s top 100 universities, will not seamlessly lead to a career in philosophy. Students that graduate with an undergraduate degree in philosophy are as employable as any other graduates; the nature, content and structure of the degree helps produce essential skills used in many different fields of employment. Take, for example, the number of famous people that have studied philosophy - Martin Luther King, Bruce Lee, Harrison Ford, T S Eliot, George Soros, Woody Allen and Bill Clinton!</p>
<p>Philosophy graduates can commonly be found employed as journalists, lawyers, researchers, teachers, civil servants, diplomats and in many branches of the media. Their success tends to be the result of the nature of most philosophy degrees; studying the subject helps you judge the differences between a good and a bad argument and draw reasoned views from difficult situations. Philosophy also exposes you to a range of arguments and ideas and helps you navigate a clear approach that is both informed and based on logic; again, essential qualities in any area of employment where roles are very much dependent on the way in which you communicate ideas and arguments.</p>
