How can Majoring in Philosophy at Benedictine College Prepare Me for Life?

Philosophy is worth doing for its own sake – drawing closer to the truth through the exercise of our natural powers is what our minds were made for, and so it is inherently fulfilling. This is all the more true for those of us who believe in God, because we find that drawing closer to the truth brings us closer to him as well. Still, though, students cannot help asking: Is this study going to be helpful for me after I leave college?
