Philosophers, how do you feel about your field being applied in the real world?

It seems as if most if not all of philosophy is really applicable in real-world, but is often dismissed because of the stereotype that philosophy is useless. <br>For instance, ethics involves a lot of thinking about how we ought to run society. Metaphysics generally explores the nature of reality and provides interpretations of phenomena. <br>But this sort of knowledge does not sound useless, yet most of the world tends to view philosophy as useless. <br>What are your thoughts on that?
