I'm very interested in philsophical logic. Particularly non classical logics and diagrammatic logics. I'm not knowledgeable right now, I only know first order predicate logic with Identity and am just starting with predicate variables. I'm a Peirce scholar so I obviously know semiotics.
My ignorance will be inconsequential as I learn more.
Basically I want to make alot of money while living as an idle loafer mostly focused on my acedemic interests.
I'm just now thinking about going to college as a 22 year old. I want to know what kind of jobs I can do that pay the bills relevant to my interests. What kind of jobs can I get as an undergraduate with some specialized knowledge. (Assuming I have networking connections and some charisma) besides being a code monkey what kind of work can I do for silicon valley bullshiters with this? I'm not too interested in computer science but if I can get a job that isn't 9-5 with a commute I want to know about it.
What kind of industry jobs do logic graduates who know there shit get? I know being knowledgeable about philsophy is a bonus if you want to get a senior position at a place like Google, I imagine logic is the same. It doesn't have to be logic related but just a position where logicians are desirable.
Not that I want an industry job, I want to do philsophy and theoretical biology. Just as a fall back, what kind of job can a logic undergraduate with advanced knowledge from, persay, the university of Pennsylvania get?
Am I better off getting a philsophy or life sciences degree? I'm already fairly erudite and easily capable or graduate level coursework in those fields, I want to learn as much as possible for my time spent in college.
Am I better of just getting a degree in math or philsophy and focusing on logic?

you are going to have a very hard time in a philosophy degree with writing skills this shit

My writing skills aren't shit. What's given in the op is shit, sure. If I bother with; attention, mediation, and revision I'm an adequate writer, good-even.
Forget about my writing. Bully me again and I'll drive my fist down your windpipe. Then I will pluck the lungs out of your chest and pull them clean out of that spiteful little mouth of yours. So hold your breath, fucker.

oh-no-no-no. /lit/ is the board for philsophy. This is the appropriate board to talk about formal logic of any kind.

Type theory and developing proof assistants is all based on logic

Trying to prove properties of a programming language, once again using classical logic like judgements

Otherwise you can do things like being a professional researcher in industry, these positions actually exist where they pay you just to research something and find holes in their arguments.

First, improve your writing.
Read philosophers like Robert Solomon, Derek Parfit, David K Lewis for style hints. Take a journalism class or rhetoric class to improve your general writing style and read some literature (Hemmingway).

You don't need a BA or MA/PhD in philosophical logic to study and work in the field.

You are interested in biology so you could study biophysics and some philosophy.

I'd recommend
>Probability theory math course
>Non-classical logic
>Logical semantics or metamathematics course
>computational modelling and its prereqs
>Philosophy of Science or epistemology
>Philosophy of Language
>Historical philosophy/technology course along the lines of Kant, Frege, Russell, Church, Tarski, or history of computation

I'd recommend you purchase Philosophy for Graduate Students (Broadbent) and Introduction to Non-Classical Logic (Graham Priest) to make sure you really want to pursue philosophy.

As for jobs, there is easy money in LSAT tutoring. Statistical modelling or comp sci is viable. If you have normie social skills and graduate in the top 25% at a top 15 ranked law school you can make serious bank in patent law with a bio degree.

What you put in the OP wasn't acceptable writing in an email, facebook post, or fucking twitch chat log. Your minimum standard needs to be higher.
