Dean of the philosophy department asked me that when I said I wanted to major in it. My reply was 'well I was going to major in business...'

But seriously I think it was reading. I read a lot, Dostoyevsky, Joseph Campbell, Siddhartha, Sartre. Funny how I ended up in computers with a philosophy degree. My other friend with a philosophy degree is a data scientist at a large blue chip.

Smort!
