I need advice as to what career I can pursue based on my interests. I am interested in philosophy and trying to figure out the nature of reality. I%26#039;m interested in how the mind works (or brain) and how and why certain substances/chemicals alter perception. Based on this, I thought I could be a psychiatrist and continue studying philosophy. I don%26#039;t want to be merely a psychologist because I want to know more on how certain drugs affect the mind and how the body relates to that. However, I don%26#039;t know if I support all psychiatric practices such as ECT or certain drugs. I don%26#039;t know if they are harmful, yet I%26#039;m still really interested in finding out more and perhaps revolutionizing psychiatry into something better. Is this a good plan, or do you have any other suggestions based on my interests?

lol, prof.

The only %26#039;job%26#039; that philosophy is good for is professor. Philosophy isn%26#039;t about %26#039;jobs%26#039; or the %26#039;real world%26#039; (as it%26#039;s called) its about important things.
Psychiatry could get you a job with the NHS or you could go private with proper training. If you don%26#039;t agree with some aspects, you can specialise in a way that won%26#039;t cause conflict.
