who pays for their own education? usually it's some combination of parents and government backed loans or grants even when people pay for their own education in the form of future loans, they're doing so with highly imperfect information about what it will mean to pay them back (which I don't think is necessarily an argument against studying philosophy, learning to think rigorously can be highly practical)
