I am an international student from South Korea who is currently studying in the U.S. I am an undergraduate who is majoring in engineering but I was always interested in other fields as well, one of which is philosophy. I read books related to it and also listened to lectures on various topics regarding philosophical issues, but as a major it was very hard to access due to the fact that it is considered to be not a “wise” career path.
Most people I know who are trying to minor in other fields usually look for majors which are deemed more practical, but I hope that more students would also look to the upsides of these sometimes disregarded majors and find a way to adapt it to the real world.
My cousin just started her freshmen year in philosophy, and there were many objections when she first applied for that major due to the reasons mentioned above. I know her well and I know her personality goes well with her major. I hope that my cousin and many other students like her who are majoring in philosophy do well and shed some light in the sometimes passes by important values.
