Flip answer" 'Do you want fries with that?"
Serious answer: depending on what classes you take for your electives etc, you can apply for a wide variety of lower level/entrance level positions in companies. Philosophy is basically a generalized liberal arts degree... you should come out with good reading and writing abilities, the abilities to analyze problems and do critical thinking. With the right resume that is marketable. If you want to make it easier - think of what kind of company might interest you ... and then pick your electives around that.... business, sociology, accounting etc.
