Philosophy students can have a tough time - from battling existential crises on a weekly basis to trying to convince others that their degree is actually worthwhile.
Here's a rundown of the struggles they face.
10 Problems every Philosophy student faces
1. You're not sure if anything is real(01 of10)
The very screen you’re reading from might be the imagining of an evil demon, leaning on the table in front of you doesn’t prove that it exists, and you can never know whether anything outside of your mind is real. Your degree has led you down the lonely road to solipsism. (credit:Image Source via Getty Images)
2. The faces on your lecture slides aren’t particularly diverse(02 of10)

3. You’re good at arguing and everyone hates your for it(03 of10)

4. Occam’s Razor isn’t the solution to everything(04 of10)
Not going to lectures because, in the absence of certainty, you can be more sure that you’ll benefit from a lie in than sitting through three hours of the Philosophy of Language is probably not a valid excuse. (credit:Media for Medical via Getty Images)
5. "So you study Psychology, right?"(05 of10)

6. You don't believe it was your fault that you're late for your seminar.(06 of10)

7. "What can you do with a Philosophy degree?"(07 of10)
You're forced to become a pro at listing the ‘transferrable skills’ your course offers, even though you’re convinced that reading Descartes will do no more than help you daydream about whether you’re actually a brain in a vat. (credit:Daniel Grill via Getty Images)
8. Wondering why nothing is written in plain English(08 of10)
Realising that your reading list features nothing from the current century and that Latin phrases never makes things clearer. (credit:RyanJLane via Getty Images)
9. “If you trip on the stairs in a nightclub and no one sees you, are you still drunk?”(09 of10)
Getting into a philosophical argument on a night out is never a good idea – even if you are wearing a white T-shirt with “I drink therefore I am” scrawled across your back. (credit:diego cervo via Getty Images)
10. Wondering how far you can push moral relativism(10 of10)
If right and wrong don’t exist, then stealing your housemate’s cake from the fridge when you're hungry is totally justified. (credit:BananaStock via Getty Images)
