What major career paths are available to philosophy majors outside of the academic machine?

Does anybody else get no joy out of discussing literature and philosophy with people? It seems like most of the time it leads to an argument, which is what you see happening here a lot. Almost every discussion on this board turns into shit-flinging. Not to say that you cannot have a polite and enlightening literary discussion, but it's very rare. I heard Kant forbade any of his friends or dinner-guests to bring up philosophy in their conversations perhaps for the same reasons.

Yes, very much. It has filled my life with a sense of meaning and joy, has made me able to see the absolute bullcrap that is most of culture, politics and intellectuals and has made me more knowledgeable. I can also argue better.

Best influence on my life was a thourough understanding of Nietzsche, but most other stuff (like DFW eg) has also contributed.

It's a tough journey and it's never over, but I've feel there's a tipping point from where reading and insight destroys all your previous beliefs to reading making you strong and insightful in order to be able to live a life of cheer, joy, creation and production.

comment films that exude life and creation, affirming life and negating faggotry by not acknowledging it as such

NIETZSCHEAN FILM in short

I'd suggest once upon a time in Hollywood by Tarantino (although most of his work is peak ressentiment and judaism)

YES THIS CONCERNCS LITERATURE, we better characterise how a Dyonisian/Nietzschean life can be lived.

Oops nevermind I'm wrong. That's a Bacchante, not Bacchus himself. Easy mistake, Bacchus himself is so androgynous.

Art is beautiful when it has a perfect mixture of Dionysian and Apollonian elements
