Who /philosophy major/ here? I'm taking it to get a degree

There is no value. Philosophy education is just historiography. If you want to actually develop your analytical skills and abstract thought capabilities you should switch to math.

I don't know why people think a piece of paper is going to magically bestow value on them...

The value is what you put into it. University is a vehicle and you'll learn a shit tonne you couldn't have learned on your own as long as you care. And philosophy is the right course for law. Double majoring in English is also a good idea.

I'm a philosophy major but thankfully not in the US where university costs millions and you are unhirable with a humanities degree.

Thinking reading on your own is the same as studying at a uni is so retarded. I see this meme a lot on this website. Writing essays is not something autodidacts do and is something that truly develops philosophy skills.

Anyway, the fact that you already asked this shows you're a retard. So no, don't study philosophy, you will just taint our names.

I'm sure you believe that, too.

That way you can work at the math factory after the philosophy factory gets outsourced

No, you should take a single Discrete Mathematics course at the most to understand logic notation and that's it... Psychology is a better bet if you want to analyze the way people behave/ought to behave for the purposes of law.

I'm pretty sure I'm too much of a brainlet to do math.

This.

Not only psychology, but government/poli sci, economics or even history will serve you better for law school than philosophy. At least that's true in the US, may be different in a civil law system. None of the philosophy majors who I knew in law school did particularly well, it's just a different mode of thinking.

>historiography
Entirely false.
Analysis and abstraction are not desirable nor does mathematics train these

>>9352181
>ought
Fuck off with your normative ethics

>I'm not sure if I'm finding a ton of value I couldn't get by just reading
You either go to a factory school or are incredibly stupid.

>>9352191
As someone who did math, this is probably true.

How hard is it anon?

do brainlets really believe this?
philosophy and math complement each other extremely well

>>9352449
only bad philosophy does, because mathematics is bad

Mathematics only works within the boundaries of a small box of axioms... The boundaries of philosophy are so much wider within the walls of nihilism.
