No. And never!

A real philosopher will always leave one boat to sail back from far away island. That is living in reality boat. Hope that answers your question.

The moment a child asks the questions 'how' or 'why' he has become a philosopher. Scientists are a subgroup of the group of philosophers.

It is human to be philosophical.

Philosophy is the study of how we think and why we believe and things like this. To a degree everyone will have an ability to think about thinking. The greater the depth the greater the insight is required and this like any other research can bring a person to a state of confusion or to a state of realisation.

Alas many an Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein spent many more years confused than they did in gleeful comprehension.

My answer is No, Philosophy does not make you stuck, my response is as follows.

Philosophy is great, and you will feel very good about it, if you are satisfied with your life, and being satisfied or contained i should say had nothing to do with your thinking philosophically. Its related to your external realities and your internal idea of what is a good life.

Now because of philosophy you are better equipped to deal with both of the things, i.e. comprehending your external realities more clearly, and also understanding and criticizing your own idea of a good life, you might be wrong in what you assumed as a good life.

Few years back when i was looking for the jobs of philosophy people, there was a university website which said that philosophy people are working everywhere in all kinds of institutions. The reason they provided is that the major qualities that jobs require are clear understanding and clear communication and who can be better at it, someone who almost always work with words.

And now at this stage my life i know that its true, I had been in a job of software developer for just over a year and I'm doing better than many who spent many years in the firm, and the reason which my manager had given me is that, he likes my analytical abilities , a bit of self praise though..

Further i'll suggest you to ask yourself that why you have raised all those questions. What you think is wrong in thinking philosophically, and does the problem really lies there, i.e. in thinking philosophically. Are you satisfied with your life instead?

good query. one way to look at the relationship of phil to life is how it unstucks that what gets stuck.
for instance: sometimes, when the obvious does not make sense, making its sense via abstract helps.

the art of this endeavor calls for equating reasonable and ethical contrasts and comparisons to absorbe the sensory info load and use that info source for predicting the future development of things, logically. error in assessment is a given, but following the convergent or divergent paradigms can enable organism to develop an appreciative appeal based on concurrent abstract and philosophical take on issues relating to life.
