RE: The value of studying Philosophy

in #philosophy7 years ago

That is actually awesome. However those opportunities are still rare. Universities should respond to the problem of philosophy graduates not having specific skills that can be of concrete use to future employers, by offering those kinds of training as part of the curriculum. I know this is not the goal of studying philosophy, but not all of these students plan on staying in academia.

I agree. Philosophy graduates are often left with minimal marketable skills. Maybe universities should give these students more options.

Thank you for your comment. Philosophy alone may not be very marketable, but philosophy in combination with practicality = awesome. :)
