For many college graduates, their careers advance on an obvious path of their major. For Kevin Gin ’07, a philosophy major during his time at Messiah University, his career had a more unique path. Gin, a software engineer at Google, first fell in love with philosophy at Messiah University, but he redirected his career focus to computer programming by the age of 30. Gin exemplifies what it means to have courage to try new things with an open mind.
During his first year at Messiah, Gin immediately became hooked on philosophy. His first exposure to philosophy came through the course, “History of Philosophy.” Reflecting back on his original fascination with philosophy, Gin says, “I wanted to learn more about the origin of some of my deeply held beliefs so I could think critically about these beliefs and my worldview.” After reading Plato’s Phaedo, Gin took special interest in the history of philosophy and still finds it captivating to this day.
