Mitch,
Philosophy is not really something you'll just choose. You'll either find yourself inclined to pursue it, or not. Great scientist are similar in this respect that the passion for knowing nature is similar to the quest, in philosophy, of understanding language which is where our notions of truth are bound up and in.
But, even if you don't pursue it diligently you'll still form a world-view. Life will instruct you when books don't. Books just make acquiring experience faster (as you absorb others experiences by reading their personal tales and inner thoughts).
PS: Is philosophy about thinking? In the most general sense yes. It helps you think more clearly and rationally.

Mitch. you remind me of a friend of mine who is so uncertain and indecisive about what hes going to do he actually believed that people could help him by giving their opinion to him. If you have what it takes you should already know without having to ask anyone else. Just because of that fact I'm going to have to say, no, you wouldn't. You can't seriously expect to make it in today's world just citing what "other philosophers think" there's no use for that when anybody could just go online or read a book about a philosophy they don't know a lot about.
I dont know u never know give it a shot dont listen to what anyone say lol other philosophers didnt listen to anyonemax wrote:
To be a philosopher you need to talk like Uzique, so no.
Tell me Mitch, what is your philosophy?

I don't remember where it's from but I recall once hearing that "writer's block is the odd combination of having nothing to say and the desire to say something."
Basically, if you don't have an opinion and think being a philosopher will give you one, no one will care.
