I would like to recommend you a book about a man who cut his right arm because he thought he would be better off left-handed, unfortunately I don't know of any.

So I can only say you should have kept both of your arms anon.

No, I didn't. Although I did get a master's degree. That said, I don't see why it would be considered ignoble for philosophy majors to go into law. They have the highest LSAT scores if I remember correctly. Their aptitude for language and logic suits them to law. And if you are suggesting that the value of an undergraduate degree is based on it's earning potential, then I have to disagree. Undergraduate degrees are very basic, no matter which subject. Their value is in the foundation they build, in making you "educated". If you want to make money or become an expert in your field, get a master's degree or a PhD. Bachelor's degrees are the new HS diplomas.

Philosophy helps with rhetoric and connecting dots, so to speak. But I suppose it would make you a bad philosopher, yes. That said, is it bad if its not necessarily philosophy you are arguing over, but whether or not your client is as shitty as someone is saying?

90% of what lawyers do is read through long and boring texts. Philosophy is essentially the same thing.

I read somewhere that public defenders don't give a shit whether or not their client gets jailed. Their job is to uphold the law, so they're basically working together with the prosecutors.

read monad by Leibniz - he is obvious polymath

read Husserl, I recommend "cartesian meditations" as the introductory book of his philsophy- he was the assistant of Weierstrass

read "Process and Reality" - whitehead is both mathematican and philsopher. in that book he put his mathematical concept to explain his cosmology

read Bernard Bolzano-
very weird guy. not only he is really great at mathematican he did philosophy, theology, even aesthetic.

so, chill dude. you are not the only one.
