philosophy

I am thinking of going back to university next September. I am reading about UBC’s faculty of philosophy. Jeff was asking me why I would study philosophy and what sort of career I would actually hope to get with a BA in Philosophy. I said that widening my career opportunities are really not my intention going in to this. My intent in studying philosophy would be because it interests me greatly. I have long known that I have an intellectual mind that likes working on abstract ideas and problems. I want to learn how to better use my mind to solve problems and communicate ideas. I want to be a better writer. I want to know that I can take a problem, research it and argue a thesis and not be afraid of writing a 25 page dissertation on a subject.

I also found this article relating to the purpose and benefits of studying philosophy.
