I don't take a ride with anyone that I do not know.

Philosophy is a great primer for any business related occupation. The ability to analyze a position or proposal on the fly and see both the strengths and weaknesses is invaluable in any setting. It's funny seeing people do pre law/political science for law school when I was solicited by several law schools after I decided to go to grad school even tho I had no intention on law as a career. Law schools love philo grads and actively seek them out for that very reason. That was a bit shocking to experience.

Nice to see someone else who loved Philosophy in college!

Cool - another philo dork. We should get hammered and hash around.

Coming from 6 years basically eating/sleeping and breathing philo is what makes this board shit crack me up. People getting worked up over the fracas’ on these things have no idea how wickedly vicious a crusty old philo prof can be.

There's nothing like spending a few months working on a thesis to have it returned with only one comment that says:
This is the absolute worst piece of garbage any unfortunate tree has ever had to die for.

That one was a kick in the teeth.
