I wonder if philosophy majors know they will never be philosophers... you can't become a philosopher by studying philosophy, it just doesn’t
Work, you have to have some experience in life
Before you can do so and NO college is not considered “life experience" it’s just a "life experience prep course"
Bertrand Russel published his first book (A Critical Exposition of the Philosophy of Leibniz) only five years after graduating... Philosophical thought is exactly that - a way of thinking, and a certain mindset / perception / point of view in analysing life. Experience in "normal" life certainly helps, sometimes even gives the spark, but it is not vis-Ã -vis the direct requirement and causal factor behind (new) philosophy.
