The proper way to work in the philosophy field is to pivot and go in a field that can actually use it in a real life circumstance. Probably PR or something

Have you worked with a professor on a project before?

Mainly, I know that in the sciences, getting a bachelor's is a very different thing than getting a PhD. Someone might love their coursework in bachelor's, but drop out of a PhD program within the first year. Not because they weren't 'good enough', but because it's a very different thing. Thankfully, for most people who get into science PhD programs have had research experience that parallels PhD work. But I don't know if that's the case with philosophy. I don't even know what a philosophy PhD program looks like, tbh.

Try to get on that. You can also ask some of the PhD students in the program what it's like and what you would expect.

The proper way to study philosophy is to philosophize for the sake of it, not to get some job.

Most philosophy PhDs are trying to get a job out of it in academia anyway.

I'm certain that most philosophy PhDs end up in a job outside academia, but I doubt most intend to.

Do it. Don't listen to those fools who go to university primarily for a job, not to get educated.

Almost universally, the only people publishing stuff are in academia.

Don't bother unless you plan on teaching it.

Not really a practical degree.
