Philosophy
Philosophy is excellent preparation for a career in law, business, government, journalism and a wide variety of professional areas; and it is excellent preparation for different sorts of graduate and professional study. Philosophy focuses on clear thinking and critical evaluation of ideas. Thus it is excellent training for anyone whose job requires broad perspectives and new and creative ideas. Philosophy does not provide training in specific job tasks; rather, it focuses on basic skills that will prepare you for the more challenging jobs you will encounter as your career advances.
Philosophy's range of application is particularly broad. Through philosophy one may think about and develop perspectives on topics as diverse as god, science, language, logic, truth, ethics, politics and law. Typically philosophy leaves aside the doing of the religion, science etc. and asks fundamental questions about the nature of and justification for the various perspectives.
