Is there any way I can make a living as a professional philosopher without being a professor?
I'm pretty sure that writers don't all become English professors. How do they make a living when they don't have their books out? |
surely its like anything? It just depends completely on your situation.
If you end up writing a best selling book at an early age then you wouldnt have to worry about it.
You might get a job writing for a magazine or blog on philosophy. But you might not.
You really don't know what situations you will find. Or how successful you will be with them.
