Tell us something interesting about yourself that your students might not know about you.
I attended to the School of Philosophy for a B.A. in Philosophy and Mathematics. After three years, I then switched to a business area, major in accounting, because I had the fear that no one wanted to hire a professional that only knows about philosophy and some math, and nothing else. I’ve never disclosed these three years training in philosophy in my resume. After my degree in accounting and two graduate programs, I earned later my Ph.D. in Philosophy. Ergo, no one knows where you are going to end.
What is the value of this degree?
