Nehews step son just graduated in Philosophy....no clue wht he plans to do with itI do believe it's wise if you wish to major in something that won't easily lead to a job to also get a second major in something practical. This way you (hopefully) will have a fallback position. There's nothing glamorous about being a broke philosophy major (for example) with a mountain of loans to pay back and no job prospects after college. I'm saying this as someone who really enjoyed her college philosophy class. College loans are almost impossible to discharge in the US through bankruptcy. I majored in history and religion but went to grad school in library science while I worked as a paraprofessional at different libraries. My grad school jobs helped me land the sort of job I really wanted when I graduated from grad school (college librarian) and I was able to use the knowledge I learned in undergrad during my career.
