Got a undergraduate philosophy degree. Only career path is to get a PHD and become a professor. Then the only thing you do is create more philosophy majors. It's sort of like being a bacterium.
I never intended to go that route. I've been a bicycle mechanic, small business owner, prison warden, and now a scientist. My first rule is never take a job you're perfectly qualified for it will only bore you.

Got an undergraduate philosophy degree. Actually, that's a pretty good stand-in for pre-Law.

Comedian Richard Jeni had a great line about this. He said [paraphrasing], "I majored in philosophy. I then asked my professor, 'What can I do with this philosophy degree?', and he said, teach other people philosophy. 'And what can they do?' He replied, 'Teach others philosophy.' Oh My God? My University is Amway, but with a football team?"
