text: As I had the same problem sometime ago, I can tell about my experience, which happened to be in Romania (South-Eastern Europe), but I would have done the same anywere:\n1. Philosophy is nowadays useless as theory, unless you cannot prove practical applications of the general principles of whatever sistem of philosophy you've been studying. So, first of all, think of ways to apply philosophy in real situations.\n2. A good "philosopher" is a good speaker, because of the debates and training in logics, game theories, ethics and so on. All kind of jobs are ready for you: Public Relations, Media Advertising, Career Counselling (after deciding your own), even politics, at the level of communicating to the mass of voters. Somehow, modern philosophers are in fact communicators or, even worse, manipulators.\n3. Strangely, bu philosophy could help you start new business. Think about the thousands 9milions) of people with no direction in life, in need of a ecclesiastic advice. Maybe you could save the world, but expect the unexpected: people hate prophets.\n4. Take my example and combine all the three points above in making a carrer in NGO sector. Thus, you can: apply every principle of philosophy, communicate them through your own projects to the community and the system, and give hope back to those are willing to listen and assume a sense for their lives.\n\nHope it helped you. If not, imagine you are in Romania. This would give you the hint that some things should be viewed in perspective.\n\nYour,\nArdengo Modugno (nick), 28 y.o "philosopher"
