Yea right? I'm a senior director at a fortune 500 company. I don't have a single philosopher on staff. I have one English major, who went back to school and got an MBA in computer systems management. That's it. Most of our sales and marketing team have MBA's and degrees in economics or finance. I know, I'm in the job market every day. The competition for American technical interns is FIERCE. There are 5 positions for every single student in good standing (3.00 or better GPA).
Good luck to any new grad with a philosophy degree trying to get a job today.....get used to life in a soup kitchen....or don't quit that cashier job at Victoria's Secret...
Congratulations. I make $50k a year working an average of about 5 hours a week, since I am a full time student. And yes, that was done with my philosophy degree. Merely because your world is so narrowly focused on your own needs and interests doesn't mean people who fall outside those interests somehow can't get jobs. Once I'm out of school I'll have the option to be making $150k+ straight out of grad school. Or I could just stick to what I'm doing now. $100 an hour jobs are fun. I don't think I'll be seeing a soup kitchen anytime soon.
Bottom line, you are full of crap. I can smell utter BS when I read it, and that is you.
Whoever is going to pay you that for your "philosophy" is will be bankrupt and out of business pretty soon....unless you have a NY Times best seller on the shelf. SO who's your employer, what do they sell and who is paying you $160/hr for you philosophical insight? Don't apply at my firm. We might be able to find a $11/hr spot for you in the mailroom....
Can we say "banks" and "Chrysler"!
