That's why we see occasional articles "X needs > philosophers". I just ask: where are the job offers?
Some might think that Aristotle's categorization and type theories might have created a few jobs in our current hobby/profession. There are many types of philosophy, but from what I've read, the most interesting the the mental deconstructionism of reality on a humanistic linguistic level, similar to mathematics without all the abbreviations. No, there aren't any jobs for philosophers, and their works are generally very underappreciated during thier lives, but it's quite difficult to say that it's useless, just often misunderstood by the less forward thinking people of their time. -- burton samograd kruhft .at. gmail kruhft.blogspot.com www.myspace.com/kruhft metashell.blogspot.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
