Are you interested in pursuing a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctorate degree in Philosophy? How to decide if Philosophy is right for you?
Perhaps you may be interested in reading Jack and Jill’s story below.

You will Like this Story.
Why Study Philosophy? Jack was asking himself that question as he prepared another espresso for a customer. He’d been at this job since his second year in college. Even though he’d graduated a year ago, he still hadn’t broken into the retail industry like he’d planned.
And last week he’d met Jill at the alumni breakfast on campus. She’d been sure of her major and career all through college. He’d thought Philosophy was boring, but there she was, all smiles.
“What are you up to these days?” he’d asked.
“Oh, I’m working on the Cinematic Thinking project,” she replied.
“So you’re still doing Philosophy?” He tried to keep the cynicism out of his voice.
“I guess you could say that. But it’s not like the assignment we did in the Philosophy class. I’m undertaking a research study as to how films can be understood and analyzed in terms of philosophical/thinking approaches by film directors” she enthused.
As she spoke about her work, Jack couldn’t help but notice the sparkle in her eyes.
“I’m glad for you,” he genuinely said. “Looks like you chose the right major! But how did you know it would all work out?”
“Before college, my parents encouraged me to explore all my options,” Jill replied. “They even got me a book that explained what a career in Philosophy would be like. It was called
Philosophy for the Curious
and had chapters by professors from around the world. They described cutting edge research, but in a way that a high school student could understand.”
Back at the coffee shop, Jack was taking a break. He pulled out his Kindle and started to read the next chapter in
Philosophy for the Curious
.
“I think I’ll go to the university tonight to enroll in Philosophy for my second major,” he told himself.

Have you Declared your Major?
As you read Jack’s story, he is not alone.
In fact, a recent research study shows that 80% of freshmen say they are undecided about their major. Most of them will change their minds multiple times even after they declare their major.
Even the “decided” students often do not base their decision of major on factual research and self-reflection. The biggest mistake both the undecided and decided students make is failing to research what’s required of the major, and the profession.
To help your research, we approached over 18 top professors to offer their powerful perspectives and advice. We asked them to reveal the truth about college majors, PhD/research, scholarship opportunities, and career options.

Why this Book is Different?
There are many books which claim to help you choose your major. But this book is different. How?
First, as opposed to “one size fits all” books, this is the first book ever written solely focusing on Philosophy.
Second, as opposed to perspective from a single author, this book provides you with multiple perspectives from the top professors.
Third, as opposed to most other academic/complex books, this book is easy to understand and read.
