    Consider pursuing a career as a clinical ethicist
    I'm just about to enter my 2nd year at Nottingham and am thinking about my future (I'm tired of hearing "philosophy, lol"). Anyways, I was looking around on the internet and I found something that seems pretty promising: clinical ethics, as ethics is by far my favourite part of the course and this looks as if it will be highly related

    Thing is, the internet hasn't been very forthcoming with information about it (or I just don't know how to use google). Does anyone know anything about it? i.e. how much does it pay, how do you become one etc?

    Thanks

    I'd imagine this would be next to impossible to get into with just a BA. philosophy degree (you'd be laughed at - and rightly so).

    A good starting point would be here -

    Ah I see. But a Philosophy degree will allow me to get onto a MA course right?

    Well you couldn't get onto a post-graduate course without completing under-graduate studies first. It depends how well you do/how much money you can afford and get funding for.
