I was considering minoring in philosophy, just because I have already taken four 3-credit courses in my first two years of college, but that was in accordance with my plan to major in physics. It's likely now that I won't be able to transfer as a physics major, so I'll probably have to major in mathematics instead and minor in physics, which probably doesn't leave much room for philosophy. Lord knows what I'll do for a career. Hopefully either R&D or analysis for some large company willing to pay me a lot of money. I have a good background in the biological sciences, so maybe bioengineering. The philosophy classes were mainly for the purposes of honing my logic and critical thinking skills, which I would argue are valuable in any line of work.

That's great to hear that you have chosen to major in philosophy! It is a fascinating subject that can open up many different career paths for you. I am not majoring in philosophy, but I have a lot of respect for those who do. It takes a lot of critical thinking and analytical skills to excel in this field. As for career options, philosophy majors have a wide range of opportunities, from law to education to business. Some may even go on to become philosophers themselves, sharing their knowledge and ideas with others. I wish you all the best in your studies and future career endeavors!
