They do a lot of thinking, writing, and debating with others on why they are right and everyone else is wrong

What Do Philosophers Do and what type of jobs do Philosopher get when they graduate ?

My brother have a master degree  as a  Philosopher - he finished Uniwerytet Jagieloński in Poland  and he is working as eCommerce manager for 4F (http://4f.com.pl/) company - biggest clothing brand in Poland Smiley not much to do with a Philosophy - but we must understand that philosophy is a passion - not a job.

I took philosophy at uni but i didnt consider myself a philosopher until many many years later and i would now consider myself a qualified philosopher mostly via years of interaction and debating on the internet. Not because i studied the subject academically.

One thing i did learn at uni was socrates was the coolest. Smiley

"Philosophy" means in the original Latin, "the love of knowledge". It was the first science. It still is. It may not be empirical, abiding by the methods of science we use today... but it is still the pursuit of truth. Science, philosophy, religion... they all seek to discover and uncover the truth to our world through their own methods.

A Philosopher is not an occupation, it is simply any person that ponders the world around them. Not for money, not because they were told to, because they have the desire to wonder about things others would usually not wonder about or explain the unexplainable. They share ideas with each other, testing their theories and thoughts with those of other thinkers.

Anyone and everyone can be a philosopher... its not a vocation and it requires no degree. I consider myself one... I waste a lot of time just writing down my thoughts... "philosophizing"... we are thinkers, nothing more and nothing less. I write down my works on YA, Blogger, whatever. Many find my thoughts insightful... and that is all that matters.

But those who have degrees in philosophy often only teach the subject to the next generation.

They "work" as a community organizer until they're pulled up the ladder promoting Hope & Change and eventually they become President.
