What can I do with a degree in philosophy & religion?

Question

What kind of career options are available for me? (also I have a minor in fine arts.) And I was thinking about applying to law school after I get my bachelors, is this a suitable major, because my school doesnt offer pre law. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Think deep thoughts about being unemployed.



While not particularly vocational, a phil /rel degree is still a degree. It demonstrates to potential employers that you have a functioning brain, can work hard, make deadlines etc. A degree is a degree... even a BA.



With regards to philosophy as a pre-law substitute - a good philosophy student, when presented with a new concept or set of concepts, learns to cut through irrelevancies to the heart of the matter. They also learn the value of both logical argument and efficient expression.

(These are powerful assets to a practitioner of law (see "sophistry")).



Also, students of philosophy develop an understanding of the origins of our morality, it's place in our modern lives, and a deeper interest in their own ethical action.

(These aren't. (see "blood-sucking s**tbag waste of skin and organs)).

Answer 2

those matters are thrilling adequate for me, that's why I took philosophy. yet as for jobs pass, like progressed math, this is merely upshot is which you will practice it to scholars. A viscous cycle, yet being a professor of philosophy ability people think of you're smart, and that they are in many circumstances good. i think you will be able to now and then get to accomplish a little archeology stuff.

Answer 3

If you score well in your LSAT, it shouldn't matter as much what your bachelors was. Good Luck.
