Sure, as long as you realize that being a philosopher means spending your time in academia teaching and writing essays books or reviewing the essays and books of other philosophers.
If writing philosophy is what you want to do, meaning, sitting alone for long periods and thinking and writing philosophy then be a philosopher.
It is not easy work.
If the ACTUAL work of a proffesional philosopher sounds interesting to you then of course, go right ahead.
Being a philosopher is not like exactly like learning philosophy and its definately not like shitpositng on 4chan about philosophy.
Its getting into the nuances of different localized and pretty specific parts of contemporary philosophyical thought and contributing to it.
Most of the time its small discussions and exhanges of essays etc..
The big league guys write books that amount to something and become infuential but most work on inor localizied issues, I assume for a lack of motivation or inspiration to write something monumental.
This is the case with any research of course.

Majoring in philosophy is only good if youre staying in academia or going to law school. Unless you go to an Ivy league, then its all good

Honestly don't do it if you're poor OP, believe me I tried.
