When I Grow Up, I Wanna Be a Philosopher

People have told me, I should be a philosopher.

I love asking questions.  I always need to know WHY.  Even if I know the answer to the question WHY, I keep asking questions.  I never stop.  I sometimes drive people crazy.

But I cannot figure out how to harness this interest into any kind of professional career.  As far as I know, there aren't any positions open for people to come in and just THINK in a cubical for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

The best solution I've come up with at the moment is to pursue political science as a college degree track, and on into law and becoming a lawyer, a career where thinking, and thinking well, is key.

Does this make any sense?  How can I be a modern-day professional philosopher?
