How can I make money with a philosophy degree?

Is a math degree basically applied philosophy?

Because philosophy degree is a hobby degree user, you need get into laws, business or cs to make any use of it.

I also like CS. How would one translate to the other? (besides obvious Sergey)

nothing, probably just helps you think through solutions more clearly

PHD in philosophy here. Did apply slightly over 300 times to score a total-but-well-paid-bullshit-job at a major bank. Fixed-term 2 year contract. In this times the bank went fubar and the contract was not made permanent or renewed. Now neeting since more than half a year: It feels worse then any time before in my life. I just recently started applying again.

Why not teach if you have a PhD?

Become a Sergey Nazarov. It pays really well.

In Germany non MINT-academics do NOT, I repeat, do NOT have a future. Years of fixed-term contracts with no safety belt that you will end up having a permanent contract in the end. It is absolutely not rare people failing around 45-55 years old because they didn't get that contract made permanent. Perspectives in other words, my friend, are SOOOOOOOOOO incredibly bad in academics with philosophy that no sane person would try to...

Scam ICO is the only way my dude.

Forgot to mention pay is shit in every imaginable way except you'd score the super win and get a professorship.

sell it

Create a youtube channel educating us plebs.

And here goes the quality posting. Thanks guys, thanks for the helpful contributions.

You dont make money with philosophy. But the greek philosopher made a bet that he could get rich and did so by cornering the olive oil market. In other words, arbitrage.

>You dont make money with philosophy.

It's an assertion. Can you elaborate a bit? I mean, it's not like it is a given, right? Or it somehow follows logically...and I'd be damn surprised if you could state that it's empirically, because how many cases did you observe yourself?

google graduate jobs
apply
work hard
make yourself indispensable

i'm sure someone in finance or government is hiring

so I thought, but

NOT
IN
GERMANY

so move

You might want to look out for jobs in the literary world... libraries, etc. I once knew a dude who had a Bsc in philosophy and he worked at a library and was in charge of the entire catalog... what to add, what to let go, rotations, etc. Quite comfy.

Before that, he had some job at a museum.

Plenty of possibilities bro.

Because philosophy is almost by definition not for making money.
The closest to making money is having a youtube channel commenting about politics.

Create a decentralized oracle and scam biz with it

Applied to jobs in Switzerland, Denmark, the Netherlands and Austria, too. Not too much, though, maybe around, hmm, 30. But all in all, it comes down to the eurozone lying on its death bed. It's strange, because no one actually speaks about it, but it is everywhere: There are highly qualified people applying hundreds of times and they are ground to pieces by this. In the end, yeah, you get a job, but it's shit. Shitty pay, shitty job security, shitty conditions.

I'd move, believe you me, I'd go for ANZ, US, Canada, but I don't know how. I do not know how to do this at all.

Every well-argued philosophy video has absolute brainlets in the comments trying to argue the opposite view with faulty logic. And when you point it out, it just doesn't click in their heads.

>politics
found Sam Harris

I know what you're trying to say, I am not stupid. But it's a loose term "not for making money", you know. What IS for making money? I do know stuff about financial markets, futures and equities trading, HFT, algo trading. It's a rare thing having knowledge like this for a philosopher. I do not say I'm an expert in these, but I surely am not some soft, liberal arts asshole. My main area of interest was model theory, formal semantics and neighboring subjects, I never cared for ethics, aesthetics or history of philosophy. There are such exorbitant prejudices in Germany of non-business or -MINT-degrees going into finance, it's laughable to the point of fearing for conspiracy.

Like i said, philosophy isnt a skill for making money directly, its an underlying discipline for making use of information.
Look at Thalus of Miletus for your example of a philosopher making money. He applied the method, not the content.

Becomes a paralegal
It's decent work for a decent wage, and you'd be surprised how many jobs there are. Look on Craigslist for them. Also works well if you're bilingual (in the U.S.)
Getting a cert isn't necessary with a phil degree but might give you an edge
Assuming your grades aren't shit you could also go to law school

Sure, but how do make money DIRECTLY with a business degree in any other way than you were describing it for philosophy? You cannot apply anything directly to make money. You have to use techniques, methods, tools you were tought to apply them in situations that demand - in some sense - the solution of a problem. Actually, I am arguing for a case of overwhelming prejudices being the current state of affairs when it comes to the applicability of philosophy to business problems.

Most arts degrees ARE philosophy

Was this directed to me? Well, I'm 38 and I do have my PHD. I love to learn new things, and I would never resist a trainee position or general extensive training on the job, but I do not feel like becoming a paralegal. I want to apply what I learned and I certainly do not consider throwing everything I worked hard at away by somehow convincing myself of my hidden wish to become the helping hand of the worst profession out there: lawyers.

Literally: WHAT?

>Social studies
>Economics
>Business studies

Honestly are there great youtubers or courses on the subject? I'm interested. If not well you have your job.

And thank YOU sir for your incredibly useful degree and contributions to society. Now go and think for a good way to kill yourself.

The level of indoctrination with you shitheads is unbelievable: Social sciences? - Useless for humankind and indeed harmful to society! What the fuck is wrong with you!? It is NOT that the people having studied philosophy are without use to society, it is society that errs in excluding them to participate that's wrong. It is an utter grievance in the system.

Become a corporate ethics / ethical leadership consultant. So hot right now

>So hot right now

Where? Where are all those those job positions hiding, my friend?

If you're smart enough to get a philosophy degree, you're smart enough to know it's not worth the money.

I have a philosophy degree.

Graduated in 2011 in U.K., then worked in tax and accounting. Got chartered. Earned a few hundred k from crypto and started my own software dev firm.
