Philosophy majors should discuss careers with their advisor. Also check out the JCU Career Center (their house is at 2563 Belvoir) and meet with Elizabeth Osicki (phone 216-397-1722), who does career counseling for philosophy majors. There are many ways to use your philosophical training.

If you plan a career in philosophy as a teacher, you need to apply to graduate schools. Know about analytic and continental - and check out philosophy departments that fit your interests.

If you want to be a lawyer, you need to take the LSAT (do free practice tests) and pick a law school. Paralegals need a different preparation.

Further options include public service, religion, and other areas (this "other areas" link requires that you have Acrobat Reader on your computer - click here if you need to install this free program).
