Some philosophy graduates go on to further study in philosophy. This could be with the intention of pursuing a career as a lecturer or simply due to their love of the subject, or both. Other related areas of interest include politics, ethics, international development and sociology.
For careers in law, lecturing and teaching, you'll need further qualifications. In areas such as journalism and advertising, you may find a postgraduate qualification useful, but relevant work experience is essential. Research the careers that interest you to find out if you'll need to take further study.
For more information on further study and to find a course that interests you, see Masters degrees and postgraduate courses.

Hi,
English Literature definitely has an edge over philosophy for sure. An English Literature or Philosophy degree qualifies you for any number of careers that have no specific skill set. Basically, it is a degree that assures potential. For instance, many people think you must have a degree to do job, but most entry-level jobs have such a steep learning curve that the need for a specific degree is obviated. Lots of English and Liberal Arts Major are doing jobs in marketing, communications, sales, etc.
All the Philosophy Majors, whom I know graduated in computer science. All the English majors who went to graduate school became lawyers or MBAs.
All the best.

Hello,
Philosophy is the ability of the mind to put things in perspective. It's the ability to differentiate between nuances of similar thoughts. It's about ethics, it's about logic.
It's a very interesting and fascinating subject. The subjects that are taught at graduation level are Indian Philosophy, Western Philosophy, Ethics, Logical reasoning, Problems in Philosophy, Philosophy of religion, etc. The names may change from university to university but contents are similar. The aim of all these subjects is to give a solid grounding to the student to enable him to be perfect in ethics, logic and logical analysis.
This is one subject that has seen a great evolution in course contents. Advancements in neurology, various developments in thought processes have forced the authorities to keep on evolving the course content. Maybe because of this, it's one course that is nearer to modern times.
