Blog Post #3 Option #1

I'm not sure what my college major will be, but at this point philosophy sounds like a good option to me. I'm not necessarily very interested in philosophy, but I think it will build valuable skills for me in whatever career I choose. Studies show that philosophy majors end up making $81,000 on average in the middle of their careers.
