November 25, 2013 In the Spotlight
Philosophical conundrumThe internal debate takes many different forms, but rarely reaches the depths of, "What is a job?" or, "Is money real?" For many, the question is, "What happens next?" The answer just might be, "What do you want to have happen next?" Philosophy is more about the means than the end. The end -- an eventual career path or course of future study -- is enhanced immeasurably, even if a student hasn't specifically defined what that end will be. Purdue graduates in philosophy, for instance, have transitioned comfortably into a diverse job market. Find out about their varied career paths -- from law and information technology to the FBI -- in THiNK Magazine.
