What Are The Career Options For Philosophy Graduates?


Recommended Posts

Philosophers are often thought of as being right-brained creative, inventive thinkers, which often attracts them to careers in the creative/aesthetic arts like music, visual art and fiction. Neil Peart, famous drummer of Canadian rock band Rush, was a philosophy major in college. Rush's songs are often considered thought-provoking philosophical diatribes in and of themselves, and I believe Peart, besides being the drummer, is one of the primary lyricists in the band, if not the main one.

 

A major hit for Rush was "Free Will," one of the core talking points of philosophical discourse (cf. Nietzsche, Kant, etc.), written by Neil Peart. If you've ever heard the song or read the lyrics, you can see the philosophical influence there. B)
