Writing career options for a PhD

[burrahobbit]

I'm sure there are hundreds of posts similar to this one.  I am ABD and really doing my best to finish up this dissertation.  I feel myself beginning to wonder about a permanent academic life, though.  I'm certain these feeling originate in my general burnout, but I have begun to wonder, are there any careers for someone with a philosophy PhD that aren't in academia?  I mention "writing" in my topic line because that's something I feel comfortable with and enjoy a great deal (I also write creatively).  I'm just curious, has anyone turned a philosophy PhD into a non-academic writing career? 

 

Thanks,
