I am totally bamboozled about what to do at university, and so I thought about majoring in philosophy!. Do you think formally studying philosophy is a waste of time, or a good idea!? Do you think studying it at university is too pretentious or theoretical, or do you reckon it may be worth while doing!? Any advice will be most appreciated! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

But make sure before you study it, know more information about the course and if you can get a goog job in it becauesyou don't want to be at uni for about 4-3yrs studing it and you don't get a good job anyway good luck if you want to study PhilosophyWww@QuestionHome@Com Philosophy is useful for rationalizing your thought!. If you take it as a major, you will be brain washed and lost yourself!. My suggestion is to take science, technology or business and admin as major whereas philosophy should be minor!. There was an old Chinese saying: you cannot read (understand) I Ching until 50 years old!. Philosophy is very deep topic, you need to have lot of experience in your life before understanding some meaning!. In fact, you can directly write your philosophy if you jump into social work!. Nevertheless, those philosophy topic are interesting as you are growing!. You should keep sometime in every week to read some philosophical books!. Each sunday would be a good time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I think that 2 things are important by picking a study: you must have fun doing that specific study (it has to be interesting for you) and you should be able to find a job with it!.

Is it really do you any good or not !!?Www@QuestionHome@Com I'm just 15 but I think I'll do it!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com you definately have to take it!! i did it and it was the best course ever! it expands your mind, helps you to question things (i was getting D's for essays because i wasn't questioning things enough!. after that i was putting a question after every sentence and i started getting A's!) it also helps you to back up your arguements!. you will start the course and state opinions and you won't be able to back it up, by the end you will win every single arguement in your life because you will have reasons behind your opinions! if you do it at college and continue to university, be careful which kind of philosophy you choose, avoid theology!. i did philosophy and buddhism and it was fantastic! i really hope you choose to do it!!Www@QuestionHome@Com |
