For sure, philosophy is a worthwhile subject of study if you like to ponder deeply about such things as ontology, ethics, epistemology, theology/philosophy of religion, aesthetics, philosophy of science, and so on. It's not for everyone, though, just as the subject of mathematics is not for everyone. And also, not every topic in philosophy is going to be interesting enough for the intellectual thinker. To one person for example, metaphysics and philosophy of religion are interesting subjects to think about but ethics is not.
