Emmie 0 #1 March 25, 2002 I didn't get that manifest job I wanted. They would have hired me except I had to go back to school end of August, and they needed people to work through November. I guess I'll be stuck in my shit job untill I get out of college. This really sucks, if it wasn't for school I'd have the best job ever, but instead I have to go throw away another 30 grand, and hope that I'll be able to find a job with my majors, which is highly unlikely, since I'm and English and a Philosophy major. I can just see the future right now, a highly educated hobo with excellent writing skills. On the bright side, I'll get to stay at my old dropzone for the summer, which is my favorite place in the world, so it wont be all bad, except when I have to drag my ass to my horrible job.

kmcguffee 0 #2 March 25, 2002 Not trying to be a smart ass but, what kind of jobs do Philosophy Majors get? Besides teaching Philosophy that is? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airdrew20012001 0 #3 March 25, 2002 Sorry to hear that, you have my sympathies. Why don't you take a semester off then? I did it twice while I was getting my BA, didn't hurt me none. Once I did it to go to Autralia, the second time because I was sick of school. Drewfus McDoofus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JDBoston 0 #5 March 25, 2002 I have a friend who was a Philosophy major and ended up trading energy derivatives. I was a Linguistics major and got a job in venture capital. My boss majored in English and sells software. You don't need to major in Economics to get a good job... so keep looking around, I'm sure you'll find something. And make sure skydiving is on your resume somewhere, so you'll stand out from all the boring losers you'll be competing for jobs with. When you sift through hundreds of resumes trying to figure out who to talk to, anything that makes you memorable is good. It may sound like a gimmick, but it's true.Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyMan 7 #7 March 25, 2002 My uncle went on to get his PHD in philosophy, he's now a very succesful accountant.I have a liberal arts degree, I'm a (hopefully succesful) Internet entrepreneur.People who chose to focus on a traditional education rather then training can go in which ever direction they choose. They just have to work a bit harder when they get there._AmICQ: 5578907MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfeYahoo IM: ametcalf_1999 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
