    Read this on Yahoo News this morning. It's a joke about philosophy degrees that is mean, inconsiderate and downright nasty...so I just had to share it:

    "Philosophy is a wonderful and fascinating field that delves into life's biggest questions: What is consciousness? Why should we be ethical? Why can't I find a job?"

    ...and inaccurate (although I realize it wasn't your joke). One of my day job colleagues is a recent MA in Philosophy graduate. Two skills those folks definitely have re writing and critical thinking, which is very conducive to curriculum development.

    Yeah, this is even funnier than "fries with that" jokes.

    That's good to know since my daughter is going after an English degree at UCLA. Even though her degree is in a "fries with that" field, she is a great writer and a very smart, personable girl so I know she will do just fine in the workforce.
