Hey we philosophy majors make a lot more money than other humanities disciplines on average.
...because so many of us become lawyers.
I've always wondered why.
Is it because you guys are really comfortable going over the minute details in anything written and finding everything that supports one thing or flaws an argument?
Used to reading a lot of dry text in detail and retaining the information.
"I'm an expert in stuff most people find tedious"
Most people find most fields tedious on an expert level.
Same reason so many lawyers have History undergraduate degrees.
That's it!
Now think about it
Therefore you are.

Philosophy is actually a great major to have.
It just means you have been thought how to think well.
So any job that leans on critical out-of-the-box thinking benefits from a mayor in Philosophy. Like problem solving, social deductions, critical reading, ...
Having someone on your team like that helps avoiding mistakes during projects.
All PhDs are doctors of philosophy. That's what the Ph stands for. Doesn't mean they majored in philosophy. So you can have a doctorate of philosophy in engineering or English or even medicine and be one of those crazy MD-PhDs.
That's what the Ph stands for.
I thought it stood for Phteven.
Completely correct. There is also a (much rather in the US) ScD degree - Doctor of science.
In the US, it is often identical to a PhD. If your institution offers it, you just check a box at the end of your program on whether you want a PhD or ScD. In Europe, an ScD is a higher degree than a PhD and requires some extra work to obtain.
Yes, i guess the same applies for other fields where abstract thought is involved a lot.
In medieval europe, theology used to fulfill a simar purpose, nowadays maybe (abstract) maths would hit a similar spot. bonus points for being a bit more practical.
Just do Onlyfans like that other PhD person
Left PhD
MD's aren't doctors. They're bachelors with an ego.
It's definitely the other way around
MD's aren't egos. They're bachelor's with a doctor.
I think, therefore I am
poor
Yeah spectrum news 1 has one of those on staff.
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
