That choosing to do philosophy will lead to greater success? <br /><br />The evidence from the chart is that philosophers have good (English) language skills. It might be that philosophers tend to be chosen from the pool of people who have good language skills, or it might be that a philosophy degree will improve your language skills. We can't tell. <br /><br />The other skill that I think is critical is mathematical skills. I know a few philosophy graduates and they are all good at maths. It would not surprise me if that were generally true. I certainly agree that philosophy grads make very good employees but I suspect that it's because the subject acts as a filter: the average business major would flunk philosophy early on.Blaisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12276667747467385669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-15520560020229071202012-01-24T11:34:29.823+00:002012-01-24T11:34:29.823+00:00@LadyAtheist

I completed an Honours degree in Philosophy in London in 97, then went home to Australia, fought several successful community campaigns, and was elected as a Greens local government councillor in 2004. Philosophy allowed me to see through obfuscation and gave me the confidence to be able to listen effectively and successfully argue my corner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-16555551331449897412012-01-21T16:45:33.736+00:002012-01-21T16:45:33.736+00:00And yet the title of the graph has a typo...And yet the title of the graph has a typo...LadyAtheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12132821431322748921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-58885202588555104592012-01-21T13:36:27.946+00:002012-01-21T13:36:27.946+00:00You do know what Dr Glenn Peoples does for a livin...You do know what Dr Glenn Peoples does for a living ?<br /><br />:-)Paul Bairdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06269660700687899683noreply@blogger.com
