Be employable, study philosophy!



Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980)

Vancouver journalist Shannon Rupp, "Be employable, study philosophy" (Salon, July 1, 2013): "I tell people the most useful classes I took were all in philosophy. Yes, the course of study that has long been denigrated as frivolous and useless in the job market has been the part of my education that I lean on again and again. For work and everything else.... 'Jobs change. But if you teach students to think clearly first, they can do whatever else they want to do'.”  Read the rest of Shannon Rupp's article. Then come to Providence University College and take some philosophy courses! (Look for philosophy courses in Humanities.)
