Philosophy majors at Hampden-Sydney typically do not
make philosophy a professional career. The old adage that the
only thing philosophy majors can look forward to involves asking "Would you like fries with that?" is now
less true than ever. Instead, our majors go on, and have gone
on, to lead successful lives in a variety of fields.
Here is a partial list of what our graduated
majors have become.
-
Consultants (for companies like Microsoft Inc.
and private firms)
-
Attorneys at Law (several, with some in quality
law schools now)
-
Trial Clerks for the U.S. Government
-
Directors of Personnel (for companies like
Southern Title Insurance Group)
-
Producer/Directors (at places like the Caribbean
Communications Corp.)
-
Computer Programmers and Software Engineers (for successful businesses like
Kawasaki Construction and Oakwood Homes)
-
Doctors
-
Chaplains and pastors
-
Managers, financial planners, businessmen of all kinds
Some of our majors have gone to graduate school in
philosophy, religion, and other fields. This is only
a small sample of what the skills you acquire in philosophy can help
you do. Think about this: In what position would thinking more clearly,
originally, and effectively not be desirable?
