Let's put it this way, if you would have lived in a perfectly sealed impossible to break, huge box all your life, asking what's outside of it (and trying to use words to define what's out there) would have been a great thinking exercise, but not problem solving. In a similar way, Philosophy is a great thinking exercise, but not a science anymore. (it's true that in the past, the lines between Maths, Physics, etc and Philosophy were dim, so it had it's practical uses too).

In its root philosophy is a way of critical thinking about us and the world around us and all sciences has emerged from that kind of reflection. Philosophy doctor is a title most commonly awarded to postgraduate students. Let me ask this, do questions like "why is there something instead of nothing", "what does it mean to be, to exist" are not genuine problems? What about Kant's 4 basic problems: 1) what can I know, 2) what should I do, 3) what can I expect, 4) what is a man?
