Let me tell you what I did to get a job with a philosophy (and a sociology m.a.) degree:
- took a programming specialist course (this is how they are calling it over here)
- found a job
- profit
The fancy thing is philosophy is not a technical profession, like medicine or engineering, and I dare say it does not have the aim of making its students to "get a job". You can write books and maybe be another Zizek but more often, you do not do that, or rather cannot do that because life wants you to find a job and get your own life ASAP.
Which sucks, sucks because if I am doing a job which is totally unrelated to the education I have taken, why did I lose all that time and money? To get a piece of paper?
