My Nephew is just writing his theses for his PHD in Philosophy. The only thing he’ll be able to do is stay in Academia!

The only thing he'll be able to do in his field is to create more philosophy majors... Even bacteria has mastered replication. (Slim: BA philosophy '81)

I found Philosophy to be essential to my future development.

Of course, I only took a (full year) survey course, and they taught REAL philosophy with no Marxism.

But a degree in (real) Philosophy is a major achievement, and valuable in its own right. It is very different from a degree in one of the divisions of the Department of Social Carcinoma (Women's Studies, Urban Planning, Chicano Studies, Nonprofit Administration, (most) Sociology, etc).
