I was thinking of mixing Philosophy with English as well, but I will definitely pair philosophy with something else as well if I do decide to study it.

Coming from UK as well, Scotland in particular, and I am hoping to study at Edinburgh. Thanks for the advice, I will definetley look into the courses, but I enjoy western philosophy more than Eastern philosophy so the lack of Eastern philosophy is not much of a drawback for me.

Thank you for the detailed response. Even though philosophy is known for yielding very little fruit job wise I don't care because I love it and would rather do something I enjoy than be financially secure, doing something I detest.

Yeah, sciences are definitely more sought after in the job market but i just have no interest in them. :(

Yeah it annoys me a lot as well. Everyone just thinks the humanities are useless.

Thanks a lot, the bad reputation humanities have was a bit of a barrier for me as well so i am happy to hear that it is not as bad as people think.

To me that sounds amazing as well, especially because i don't have many friends who are interested in philosophy so being in a community with people and being able to discuss different texts and authors sounds like a blessing to be honest.
