eli5, how do philosophers get their job?

Like I understand that a lot of them are professors at first, but who just goes “I’m gonna pay this person to think and probably be sad”

Is it all just the books and speeches?

Basically, yes. There is no company that employs “philosophers” ; some of them may work in academia (but then it is not just “thinking”, but mostly teaching and doing research) ; the others live off books or, most often have another job at the same time.
