Any job where they want someone to use their brain and does not need technical knowledge. Philosophy is about understanding the thinking process and exercising the brain in a logical basis. Many law schools like it as a base of the law degree. I am an accountant with a Philosophy major in manufacturing where I need to explain the results to people who have no accouting background at all.

Sigh.

It's rough.

Someone I know got his degree in philosophy. (nearly 30 years ago). The results?

First he tried selling vacuum cleaners.
Then he worked as a "counselor" at a mental institution.
Next, he went to a music college and started a rock band.
Then he got his M.B.A.
After that he formed his own company and did consulting. That worked out well until it dried up.
Now he works in I.T. at a bank.

PS: He still does music on the side. I think that's been his true love all along.

Best of luck to you. You'll, at the very least, be an excellent thinker. These days that's rare, and occasionally an employer will see the value in hiring someone like you. These are the kind of employers you want to seek out, though I have no idea how you do that.

Anything that involves critical thinking. Which is pretty much everything.
