Yeah, you got the family dog and the white picket fence, and you just think that's all there is.

If you use a philosophy education well, you can get your foot in the door of any industry you please. Industries are like the blossoms on a tree while philosophy is the trunk - it holds the tree together, but it often goes unnoticed. ↗
