What colleges don’t tell you is that most graduates change their careers many times. So, if you spent your entire time in college studying engineering and it turns out that you hate being an engineer, you have to start from scratch. You’ve wasted your time and money. It’s the same with journalism, pre-med, or law school. It’s the same with anything.

But philosophy doesn’t teach you one specific skill–it teaches you how to learn, how to think critically, and how to choose and flourish in whatever career you want. And if you are up for it, philosophy is an excellent double major. You don’t need to do just philosophy; philosophy works with everything. Philosophy is economic stability. Philosophy is freedom.
