Anyone else a Philosophy Major?

I was wondering if anyone else on here was a Philosophy major? I'm in my junior year and doing a double major in Philosophy and Psychology. I just wanted to know what some people have done with their degrees. I'd love to teach but not at the college level - I'd rather teach high school...but I think the opportunities for that are pretty slim. My minor is cognitive science within the philosophy genre - combined with psychology I'll have a pretty good background for that sort of thing...but I'm wondering what exactly I'll end up using it for. I'm not all that interested in being a psychologist - I'd rather just utilize the skills I'll learn somehow. I've convinced my employer to pay for my philosophy degree because I explained how ethics play a big role within big business...so I could always pursue that route as well.

I'm not sure exactly how to respond to people when they ask me my major and how I plan to use it someday.

Any thoughts?

BTW - on a side note - I chose philosophy after much thought and having stopped schooling for 4 years. I was a business major and have my AA degree in that...but it's not my cup of tea. Philosophy is much more interesting to me and I believe you have to love what you're learning otherwise why bother? I know that I'm doing the right thing by focusing on philosophy and psychology, just not sure what direction it will end up taking me in.

I know a number of people who went to law school after majoring in philosophy - the two disciplines have a lot in common including the emphasis on logic.

Yeah I know Philosophy is a great pre education for law...that might be a possibility in the future - not sure

Philosophy is an awesome major. Personally, I would double major in it with my other degree (Computer Science), but I don't think I am going to bother staying in school for longer than four years. At least not as an undergrad. I am a minor in Philosophy though.

Anyway, your options are:

- Go to grad school for Philosophy and figure it out from there. You'll have to go for this anyway if you want to teach it in most cases.

- Law school.

- High school philosophy teacher (hey there could be positions out there you never know).

- That is pretty much it.

You may have a few other options, but generally philosophy has a slim amount of career options. Too bad really since it's something that everyone should know at least a little about.

Oh wait, I just remembered that the company I work for has its own ethics department (it's a big corporation). Maybe you can find something like that as well. Just another option.
