I know a guy friend of mine who is studing philosophy and he plans to go into law school.
If you want to take that path you will have to get good grades and score well on a LSAT

I agree with the person above who mentioned law school. many people who go into philosophy seem to gravitate toward law and communicative disciplines like PR, or teaching. After years of teaching college, I've come to the conclusion that there are no useless degrees, only useless employers who don't realize what a major like philosophy actually prepares one to do.
From my experience, philosophy helps one discipline their thinking and develop critical thinking skills. Still, employers have to be told what that all means. Explaining that you understand how a business works will get you a lot further than explaining a unique facial tatoo.
Good Luck!

Get a more advanced degree in philosophy.
And teach and write.
Philosophy departments also sometimes say a BA in philosophy is good background for many other fields, especially those involving careful thinking and debate, like law.

Enjoy having pursued education for the purpose of seeking the truth rather having wasted a precious free time in your life on vocational training. Once you have a degree, if you do not want to continue in academia, then you have time to go to a trade school. University are not supposed to be job factories. We can educate ourselves for the sake of education.

You can work in a coffee shop. No, I'm sure there are some office jobs you can get or something. There are alot of broad degrees that people go for, not really knowing what they will do with it and that is usually what they do..work in a cubicle or something.

Well,
Law school's definitely an option.
Most jobs in government (local/state/federal) really don't care WHICH major you chose, just that you have a degree.
Law enforcement jobs.
The military officer corps (...two,three,four,...)
Teaching!
Good luck and Happy New Year.

I plan to enjoy the process of getting it, not worry about what the piece of paper will prove. Study for the joy of learning, not the market value of it.

Can go to that degree to feel and justify any actions,right or wrong,or be away from those in total harmony with ourselves.
