Can you convince me that it is an ethical thing to do to study continental philosophy? When there is so much suffering in the world, couldn't you be doing something that would have more of a positive effect on the world? What kind of an effect on the world do you think continental philosophy has? Do you think that, despite being basically irrelevant today, it will become relevant in the future? If you see continental philosophy as not irrelevant, could you explain how you think it affects the world?
poststructuralism is good and has roots in continental philosophy
If the worlds suffering moves you, then what do you intend to do about it?
Personally, I'm with Callicles when he says that young men should be men of the polis and not spend too much time on philosophy and immaterial metaphysics.
BUT if your goal really is a just world for all then yes, do continental and skip analytic. If analytic philosophy moves you more then just skip it and get a science degree. It's the same thing basically.

I agree you should be studying Analytic Philosophy so that you can determine what exactly constitutes suffering.
