What are you studying, Veeky Forums? What are your ambitions after you finish?
As for mine: >Study economics with a minor in philosophy >Attend law school >Practice law in some quietNew England town (See: Burlington VT) Ultimate Reach goals: >Get in the public eye somehow, become "famous" local, perhaps through some high profile case >Run for small local government position i.e. Mayor >Eventually run for something larger like Senator or Governor
A man can dream
Joshua Green
OP you should become a selectman or other local politician. it's easy as fuck as long as you promote yourself well! small towns just vote for whoever's name they've been seeing around. my friend just did that.
Degrees Attained: >B.Mus. in Music Tecnology >M.Sc. in Acoustics Degrees Undertaking >M.Clinical Audiology
I'm gonna work as an audiologist and teacher, preferably overseas (US citizen here). The audiology will give me some prestige and a well-paying day job to always rely one, the rest of my degress and experience will give me lots of opportunities for teaching and consulting work. Designing headphones, labs, listening rooms, music and medical facilities all fall under my various areas of expertise.
c-course this doesn't really have much to do with Veeky Forums I guess
Henry Roberts
I study Bridgman and Loomis so I can draw anime porn.
Samuel Thompson
6 credits away from a Bachelor's in Computer Science.
Then go be a programmer I guess.
I also draw porn.

How does one become recognized for philosophy nowadays with the widespread access of books for everybody.
Is it still by being part of an intellectual group and having your works spread to other intellectual books until international recognition, or would it be different nowadays due to the internet and other mass media?
Aiden Martinez
which party would you run for?
Oliver Ortiz
not o'pea but most local elections are non-partisan and thus non-declared. mayoral races might be a little more partisan but in all the new english towns around me they just have boards of selectman, councilors, or aldermen and they don't run on a party platform. it's because there's no reason to have political parties at the town board level, they don't appoint judges, call hearings, push through majorities to pass or block legislation, etc. it's basically the board of directors at a company, they work-out strategies, balance the budget, and hire town employees. it don't matter if they declare a party or not.
Ryan Turner
You have to come up with an intolerably esoteric online "movement" like Object Oriented Ontology or alternatively you can write clickbait for buzzfeed
Nolan Evans
Is anthropology or archology a good field to get into?
Nathan King
i want to study interior design and maybe color theory or music.
Noah Smith
>How does one become recognized for philosophy nowadays with the widespread access of books for everybody.
You bother getting a PhD. There's a difference between more people being knowledgeable about a topic, and you going through the motions of a huge bureaucracy to get the correct merits.
Or, you can try your luck as an autodidact and start writing books on the topic.
Gabriel Gomez
I have a friend who studies it, and he says it's a whole lot of fun.
I don't know about career prospects though.
Elijah Lee
>About to finish a degree in Geology >Not very good at actually *doing* science though pretty capable of understanding concepts >Somewhat strong writer
It's probably going to be the science journalism route for me unless I get my programming chops in shape.
Gabriel Lopez
Im starting translation in september, pretty excited about it. I'd like to become a freelance translator (after getting experience of course).
If things work out and if I have the time and the disposition maybe I'll pursue another degree. Could be history or linguistics.
Brandon Anderson
Are you trying to do written or real-time translation? Also, what language(s)?
Cooper Allen
I didn't do well enough in state exams to study law so my dad made me repeat them.
If I get a high enough score, I'll study law and then probably try to get a gig as a legal consultant for a company or something like that.
Failing that, I'll continue working shitty construction jobs and drinking my wages as God intended.
Aiden Wood
Written translation.
English/french to spanish.
Levi Campbell
Want to finish my history degree at Oxford, maybe a PhD, teach and write. Perhaps run for office a little while after that.
Nolan Reed
Social Sciences with Licensure for undergrad, so if shit hits the fan I can teach history in a high school. American Studies Master. Found a program in Germany that sounds great. Will learn German and learn some Americas history. History of ideas related Master. What I want to focus on. Likely 16th century Europe. Doctorate in the same field. Adjunct or assistant professorship in smallish education focused university.

Dylan Perez
I studied philosophy because I'm fucking retarded
Jason Howard
finish my degree in philosophy with a minor in legal thought then sell my soul to the government for a job teaching high school for a few years. Maybe after a couple of years I'll get my doctorate and teach university students
Luke Kelly
Does which?
Adam Evans

Jackson Diaz
I'd love to teach history for a while then eventually become some sort of museum curator or manager.
Chase Myers
Economics + comp sci. Plan to start my own business with a few friends who both are comp sci only.
Nathaniel Sanders
I'm studying mathematics, I only have a few more months left and I could not be happier to be finished with the degree. My goals for the next couple of years are to go into Peter Pan mode and start going on adventures. I'm going to hike the PCT next spring with my buddy, then go overseas and try to pick up a new language (probably Hebrew).
Ultimately, I want to get involved working on a large global issue. Some kind of work for an NGO with a lot of travel and opportunity to interact with folks from the developing world. I haven't put too much thought or work into it yet.
Angel Ramirez
I would love to study history or archeology and hopefully get a PhD, but is it a wise choice if i'm not particularly interested in becoming a teacher?
Austin Hughes
I just enrolled in History at the university. I am very excited. My goal is to discover trails of Aryan migrations and to study racial differences.
Carter Perry
Architecture.
Honestly don't know if I want to practice or not. I love doing the job but most architects don't hit the sweet spot in their career till their 60s
Kayden Gutierrez
What plans do you have beyond studying?
Tyler Gonzalez
I will look for a farm hand-like job until I get hired at some history institute. If all else fails, I can become a writer (or commit sudoku)
Colton Bell
Me too bro! I start my life as a grad student in 3 weeks. Pretty excited t.b.h.
David Ramirez
Not the same person. Where you studying? Doc or Masters?
Adam Rivera
I'm doing an MA first before trying my hand in a PhD program. My advisors recommended it as my undergrad was at an unranked state uni, plus this place is funding me (yes, funding as an MA student). It's at NIU (nothing fancy but they send their grad students to places like Princeton with funding so I'm happy with my prospects.
Carter Williams
Nice that sounds good, congrats man! I have a buddy doing the same thing. Best of luck.
Gabriel Phillips
Seconded. Blog?

Nicholas Myers
computer science.
I wish to get a job where I have to do as little as possible and be able to read books while passing time while making enough money to pay for an apartment and occasional travel.
really I'd want to be a night guard like those fat people in american movies but I don't know if that profession really exists anymore. the real reason I'm getting a college education is so I can feel superior to people who don't.
Wyatt Morris
Wow, completely didn't know he was the mayor of Burlington. I guess I'll balance out his left radicalism with my right radicalism
Bentley Moore
>right radicalism
Owen Taylor
Don't worry I'm not that edgy I'm center-right at best.
James Howard
Ongoing PhD in Ancient History. I just shitpost most of the time, with an occasional big beautiful text blob

Justin Taylor
Where are you going to go for your masters and phd? Oxford?
Christopher Sanders

Michael Bell
I'm currently going for my bachelor in history. Want to go for a MD and PhD once I'm done. After that, I want to go into politics.
Jaxon Murphy
I double majored in history and anthropology and now I'm in law school. I aim to join dad's law firm and take over once he retires (whenever that might be, grandpa kept going till his late 70s).
Camden Mitchell
>goals kek >studying Psychology Honours Hopefully I can get a job in a government service or prison. After that I'm just going to toe the line and continue my hobbies. I was only interested in the philosophical/neurological side of things anyway and without masters I won't be able to pursue that.
Easton Diaz
>Not attending the UK's equivalent of Harvard
Camden Robinson

Samuel Murphy
>I go to Cambridge >Harvard is built in Cambridge, Massachusetts
why would I go from Cambridge to Oxford anyway? Cambridge consistently ranks higher for History and has much tougher entry standards
Camden Phillips

Liam Reed
I've just came back of one year of studying abroad (in spain), i think i'm going to drop my studies for a while to go again to another country ( germany if i can ). I want to learn german as my 4th language. Then i'll see what the future brings
Jaxson Price
>What are you studying electrical engineering
>What are your ambitions after you finish I'm working at a co-op right now for an engineering firm, and I like it so far. Ideally probably something design and testing based like I'm doing now. It's a pretty comfy mix of deskwork and building so it's never too dull or physically demanding.
pic somewhat related: a design for a digital circuit I made for a project at school

Cooper Gonzalez
BA in Ancient History, currently in my last semester.
Planning on applying to law school next year, seems like the logical course of action for a man with an ancient history degree who doesn't want to be a teacher.
