  1. No Rob, philosophy is a deeply challenging subject and an excellent foundation for all sorts of pursuits, law being the most obvious.

    There are some very successful business leaders who studied philosophy.

    You can sleep through 4 years of college and get a degree in the fluff things I mentioned. Not so with philosophy. Not so at all.

  2. DIBS, overall satisfied with him? I’ll be getting a quote soon on my renov on my crown heights pad but am thinking it might be worth my while to get Mopar to drop by my place so she can tell me if the quote is good or her contractors might be better value. I have this flr guy on my note pad

  3. quote:
    I will tell my kids I’ll pay for them to go study things like math or engineering or chemistry or philosophy.

    uh, which one of those do not belong? philosophy!? that’s the cheesiest major that has ever existed. you really dont think philosophy is a fluff major!? but the social SCIENCES are? did i get baited?

    *rob*

  4. I agree with Lech. if my kid tells me he want to study 1 of “those” subjects in college, I would tell him good luck and that mommy and daddy are retiring early (ie we taking the college fd for retirement vs him blowing it like that)
