Philosophy major?

Asked by LesPierreCustom (83points) September 16th, 2007

I’ve done a lot of research on various philosophies from many cultures. The topic interests me, and I enjoy reading Plato. The question is, though, is majoring in philosophy a good idea? Or does majoring in that field tend to be tedious, boring, or otherwise turn philosophers away from the field? I don’t intend on a career in philosophy, and actually I’m thinking of taking a pre-med concentration so I can go to medical school, but i want an undergraduate education in something that can expand my mind in different directions. So, mostly to people who have tried majoring in philosophy or have taken a variety of philosophy college courses, what do you think?
