I was doing an SAT practice test and there was a great article on the test about philosophy. I was always interested in philosophy, but only as an extremely interesting field that I would read about and discuss on the Internet. It really is worth studying, because regardless of the field one works in, philosophy can be applied to their job and their lifestyle. It introduces new and profound ways to think. It teaches you how to think, not what to think.
