Philosophers grapple with big questions:

  • What is the nature of the good life?
  • What does it mean to be ethical?
  • What can we know with certainty?
  • What is the nature of reality?

One of the great strengths of a philosophy education is that it develops your ability to ask good questions. As Aristotle said, the mark of a well-educated person is not knowledge itself, but the ability to ask good questions. And to be able to ask the right questions at the right time is highly prized by employers and colleagues.
