How Studying Philosophy Prepares You for a Variety of Careers
What do employers want? People who can think clearly and critically, communicate effectively and efficiently, and think “outside the box.” Philosophy questions “the box” from every possible angle, and by so doing builds skills (the ability to assess complex ideas, analyze and construct arguments, and solve problems) that are useful in a wide range of professions. Philosophy is an excellent preparation for any field where critical thinking is required; including law, medicine, business, and journalism.
