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?

Philosophy is all about asking questions. Philosophy majors get paid to ask question like “Would you like fries with that?”
Jokes aside, philosophy is what we call a non-professional degree. That means that it doesn’t necessarily lead to any particular kind of job.
Depending on where you are in the world, a philosophy major can be a real asset, provided you have good grades.
Many large corporations recruit philosophy majors at graduate fairs.
I personally was offered jobs, when I graduated, by a government department, two business consulting services and a spy agency. I had a double major in philosophy and history with first class honours.
I graduated though with a lot of people who had very average grades. Their degree certainly didn’t help their careers at all and one of them did actually take a job at McDonald’s straight out of graduation. He went into their management program and did pretty well all things considered.
