All I understand is research scientists do some research and publish a paper. Do they get for the publishing? Or is it all grant based for wherever they are researching at? What about a philosophy major? Where would they even work, and get paid for what?

Most degrees in sciences are in specific fields like chemistry, biology, physics, *every engineering field*, forestry, fisheries, so those all have direct employment opportunities that line up with them. More “pure”/abstract science like pure math, particle physics, genetics, astronomy, tend to be less directly employable in “that exact thing they studied”, but the education is a proof of ability to apply *the scientific method* to specific situations or to do novel research for a company that does research and design.
Philosophy follows the same sort of “proof of ability to apply logic” to many situations. Quite a lot of lawyers started off with an undergraduate degree of philosophy. From there to money in the bank it can be a more difficult move, but it isn’t that hard.
There is an illustration somewhere of philosophy to engineering showing them all on the same spectrum of “pure logic” to “pure application” or something like that. I can’t quite put a finger on it or remember ehat it’s called, but maybe someone can help my memory and look it up
Something like logic is applied Philosophy and math is applied logic and physics is applied math and chemistry is applied physics and so on.
