I actually missed that people had posted in here so let me answer some questions!
I originally went to college intending to major in Computer Science. About halfway through my Sophomore year I learned that you could double major and tacked on Philosophy since I'd loved reading philosophical works since junior high when I read Plato's "Republic" and the collected works of Nietzsche. About a quarter of the way through my Senior year it became apparent that I would have to pick one or the other to be able to graduate before the Federal loans ran out. I made the conscious decision to finish my degree in something that I truly loved and so ended up with a Philosophy degree. During my time in Comp Sci I learned that while I'm a serviceable programer it's not something that I really enjoyed doing in and of itself so I decided to get a degree in something I loved trusting my decade of IT job experience and my minor to get me a job.
As far as job market goes there isn't one.
After being let go from the job I got right after school I've been unemployed for almost two months now and haven't had much luck finding anything. Everyone thinks I'm either overqualified (office positions, customer service rep, etc) or under qualified (help-desk work, network IT, etc). I've got IT job experience out the wazoo but so do a lot of guys who got laid off in the 2008-2010 IT crisis so I'm competing with them and losing. Not a good scene.
I keep hoping to get a staff job at the University in the town where I live now (which my girlfriend will be graduating from at the end of Fall Term) so I can get a tuition discount and finish up my CS degree as an Information Systems degree instead but so far no dice.
In the far off future I'd love to be a college professor of Philosophy but you have to have the money to go back to school for your Doctorate first so right now I'm just treading water and hoping something comes along.
***EDIT***
Oh yeah! Meant to mention it but I usually avoid threads like the "Can Robots Love?" thread because the amount of facepalming and headdesking that I end up doing just causes me more pain than it's worth. People have some really odd ideas about both humans and AI/Robots and when you combine the two you end up with a whooooooole lot of Wargharble usually. That said, I haven't actually read that thread here so maybe it's better than most and worth a look-see.
