Hello everyone

Post by stacie »

Hi all.

I will be starting my first year at the Dominican University College in Ottawa, Canada, studying philosophy and theology.

I am finishing grade 12 which is a bit of a shitshow thanks to COVID, but I got a confirmation that one way or another I will be starting my studies in September, they are still working on the details.

In my spare time I read a lot and do Krav Maga and cook. I have two pet rabbits, Pinky and Sludge.

Was looking up stuff for school (I am taking a philosophy class) and came across this forum and thought that I would check it out.

My main interests in philosophy are apologetics and ethics.

Thanks. Its my first pandemic.

I have been getting into arguments with some family members about how practical studying philosophy and theology is.

I pointed them to this item: http://dailynous.com/2019/01/03/philoso ... ies-field/

However, it does not make clear what happens to people with a double major in philosophy and theology. Theology by itself pays poorly - would a double major earn the average of theology and philosophy graduates? Or would philosophy carry the day?

There is in any case nothing shameful in working at a Starbucks.

unless you teach, a philosophy degree is a good primer for a law degree...

but I agree with Shakespeare

Agreed! Or anywhere, really.

And philosophy can be helpful in all areas of life.

Well, you could be a very specialized lawyer: one that defends only clowns.
