If anything, philosophy would make you a better thinker. It'd develop you intellectually. It's not everything you read that has to have a concrete or physical manifestation. Philosophy is one very very very nice, but rather overlooked course. Please don't joke with it. Don't look down on it.

As of what to do with it, how many people who study "professional courses" end up getting a "professional jobs"?! Get yourself involved in some entrepreneurial activity. You should have a passion or a talent. Groom it. Follow it up.

The world is your oyster.

What is wrong with you. What's the difference between a 'deep thinker' and a 'mind reader'. The both disciplines are guided by intuition and not by laws or applied science.

Op, Take the course and you would be glad you did after only 100 level. After 300 level, your IQ would be risen compared to any other student studying other courses in the same year as you and on graduating as philosophy student. You should be be able to create a job for yourself, it's called self employment.

Why am I sure your IQ would rise?

Anybody who studies logic has a clear reasoning ability but NOT all has flexible thinking capability ONLY few. But if you imbibe both then you a genius. Genius are always wanted every where.

Great stuff here. There is always something positive in every discipline.

my advise is that as you graduating in 4 years time you should have developed yourself along some other line. Should you choose to develop a sound understanding of sales and marketing you could come out tops in that area.

One plausible way you can do that is to learn by doing. Take a part time job as a salesman/canvasser/merchandiser while studying for your degree and read as much as possible about sales and honestly you will be the man to watch by the time you graduate.

Never lose your esteem on account of the discipline you have been 'forced' to study. My one-time boss of blessed memory graduated with a classics degree from U.I. he had a great run until he left the flesh.

By the way, I sometimes wonder why nobody ever mentions the degrees of Dangote, Otedola and Maduka. It beats me.

Good luck Op and please dont waste your time changing your course on account of the future unles you really need to.

If you don't like it, I advice you leave it and try next time. But with this tacit change of one's destiny, we can never grow as a nation. No nation can grow more than it's educational development. When you apply for a certain course but given another, you've prolly tried severally, and at end decided to settle for a course you never wished. The effect is that, you can never study such course with full enthusiasm and when you finally graduate, it would be dawn on you.

I read some so called graduates comment about the issue the poster was seeking advice on, If you don't know about a course then its better you keep quite than talking foolishly. I do see graduates from Mechanical engineering, Civil Engineering, Doctor etc. They are still searching for job because they have no money to be self employed, If I may ask, what did Sanusi studied in as his first degree?. No course is a waste, what they need is your certificate and skills, that's why we have graduate trainee work
Re: What Can I Do With A Degree In Philosophy? by Kunlesina: 8:33pm On Nov 22, 2017
You better be wise my brother , philosophy may not be a best field to choose career. Unless u want to do it as first degree and later read law. But my best advice to u is that " wait for another Jamb for and choose law again . Or u pray to God about d philosophy thing . cos he knows d best . But humanly speaking philosophy is out of it.
