  1. Background: I’m currently a sophomore majoring in philosophy. I transferred to my school last fall from a completely irrelevant study. Also, I’ll be applying for programs as an international student. My AoI: Mainly epistemology and logic, and a bit philosophy of language while still exploring their subtopics. Now: 1. Seriously considering pursuing PhD, and I found myself enjoying teaching since high school. (Not taken master’s into consideration for now) I know the unfortunate job markets for PhD in philosophy and the difficulties for noncitizen to get tenure track, and want to do my post doc in USA and see how the work opportunities are. The time to return to my home country depends on how things go. 2. I have much passionate ambitions in academics than most of my peers, and I’ve searched and understood general information about applying for PhD in philosophy. 3. I’m interested in CS, and want to major in CS. Probably will focus on logic-relevant topics. I’d like to prepare as early as I can, but here comes my adversity: 1. I plan to be a RA for 1 year after graduation. 2. Major in CS needs 61 credits earned. 3. I only have 2 and a half year left if I aim to graduate in a 4yr study instead of a 5 one. 4. Major in CS is gonna consume considerable time and credits allocation in each term. 5. According to 2 and 4, I am concerned that I won’t obtain a general inquiries and exploration in different areas in philosophy. Since I want to pursue PhD without a master’s degree, 5 may be problematic. I doubt that I will be able to have at least one decent publication in about 2 years left, so that’s why I need an RA. As above shows, maybe I should choose to minor in CS? Or give up major in CS? My own doubts about my incompetence in academics pesters me hard. And time stresses me out on the pain as an early planner. If you want to provide some advice/opinions , I will appreciate. I’d love to add more information if needed. Thanks in advance!
