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?

Researchers usually have to pay to have their papers published. When you buy a paper from sites like jstor the author/researcher gets no money. Scientists get money from grants, universities, private companies that want research conducted etc. i.e if you’re a plant physiologist a private cannabis company may hire you for research. Universities also get contracts this way (from private companies) and is often what grad students do their research and thesis on. Depending on what you do (like pollinator research or fish research) you can also get a job with the government
