Stories of becoming a philosophy major Hahn, Ruth H.S.

Abstract

This study explored the pattern of how students at the University of British Columbia became philosophy majors. A narrative approach was utilized to develop a meaningful understanding of each participant's story. The stories were then analyzed for common themes and patterns. From this analysis, seven themes emerged which encompass the experience of becoming a philosophy major. The interconnections among themes outline an abstract narrative. Theoretical and practical implications for career development and career counselling are discussed.
