I'm sure every philosopher has read these newspaper articles by now; I am posting the links here for any undergraduates who are considering Philosophy as a Major or Minor. The first is from the NY Times (April 2008), "In a New Generation of College Students, Many Opt for the Life Examined." The second is a bit older (November 2007), from the Guardian, "The Rise in Stock of Philosophy Graduates: I Think, Therefore I Earn."
