Well, first of all philosophy helps you understand life much better than everything else, and ironically all our great science founders shared this opinion. Your practice, the action you will take depends on your understanding of it. The better you understand what you deal with, the better action you take. Philosophy here is must-have, IMHO.

Philosophy talks in abstractions, and though they may be hard to grasp at first, they explain thing they talk about very well, because the abstractions help you to abstain from cliches, labels and patterns you are used to, which is essential for rational analysis. And here you start to see patterns, but not in form "this is bad and this is good", but in form of patterns that are peculiar to ourselves, life itself or Universe. And there is very different philosophy. Some is just opinions, some help you form your worldview and attitude, some explain phenomenons, such as technological system.
