Help me understand the differences between Kant and Mill. Can't you express the categorical imperative in terms of utility and vice versa? Or are categorical imperatives incommensurable while utility makes everything commensurable and that is why they are fundamentally incompatible?

Also what I studied/what I got thread if you have no idea what I'm talking about above.

I love working in philosophy. I'm an ethicist for a company and I make just over $100,000 a year. When I fuck up, no one bad mouths me, no one laughs at me, and my mistakes never cost the company money. At worst, my mistakes force the company to hire a lawyer, who takes all the blame anyway if he loses.

On the other hand, people in other fields, when they fuck up, are straight fucked. Make a mistake in math and your satellite strikes Mars at 300km/s. Piece of code gone bad? There goes all your information for the next week, not to mention all your passwords and the SS numbers of your bosses.

The lesson? Ethical philosophy is the best major, because even when you're wrong, you don't cost anyone anything, you're essential, and, best of all, you make tons of cash.
