Philosophy undergrad. Worked for 2 years. Now in an MBA program. Paid internship at a major bank, graduating in April, have an interview this Thursday at a technology consulting company.

If I could do it again? Probably the same. My philosophy degree has been indespensible, to be perfectly honest. Not employable, but valuable in the way I can think about problems, learn, and break down concepts.

However, as fairly well off old welder told me once, "Programming is the **** man, that's where the money is."
