Nice. I myself am taking philosophy currently, and am very much enjoying it. Although I think I still find myself in the minority when it comes to my atheism and other philosophies (when the class was asked if people believe the 'mind' and the 'brain' are the same thing, only two people [out of possibly 40ish?] raised their hand...including me), it is still engaging and what I love to do. I am considering declaring my major in Philosophy, even when I know it's a dead market when it comes to jobs.

But I'd rather live in poverty and be happy than be rich and unfulfilled.
