I’d be studying philosophy and got multiple internship offers in law firms, HR offices, management positions, and teaching programs because of it

What do you actually want to do as a career if you graduated in philosophy? And were the classes you failed in your major?

1. The absolute preference is education but I initially accepted the HR internship when I got the offers and I’d be more than happy to do that 2. No, none of the classes were for my major

Like education as in being a professor of philosophy or going to school to be a teacher?

Professor, ideally, but I also know it’s unrealistic

To be a professor you’ll be in academia your whole life and have to do not only college but also a masters. So I would think about whether you’ll actually enjoy that. I would go to trade school or get a job for now and if you still want to be a professor take community college classes on the side to work away at requirements and practice study skills/ doing well in college classes.

Also remember if you are paying for college yourself your parents can’t really tell you what to major in. But loans from 4 years of college and a masters degree will be a lot

And that’s a part of my thing is that I originally wanted to go to college for physics but my parents didn’t want me to do that and so I didn’t pursue it despite how much I wanted to and in a way settled for philosophy

And yeah, that’s a part of it, too. My parents were just funding it before so I had to go through a bunch of different majors before getting approved for one, taking classes for the original approved one, being miserable in it, and then settling for philosophy
