No, no, no. I was mostly talking about my friend, who will probably become
extremely capable in philosophy, but when the time comes to get a job in it,
he will not be able to accept the idea of being a philosopher "by
profession", to teach or to write in order to become published or even go
into any related fields. Probably from the fear of being misinterpreted, but
also because it really is his life, and I can just imagine him considering
it simply too dishonest in someway, to get paid to do something relating to
philosophy. Luckily, I think his parents are pushing him to do some biology
in college also.
