If one is not a college student and yet still seeks a deep and professional knowledge in the field of philosophy but lacks methodology, how shall he acquire one !?

I think it is difficult for most people to learn much philosophy without the benefit of some sort of class structure. Your best strategy would probably be to find a mentor or a group of philosophical inclined friends with some grasp of philosophy who would be willing to read and discuss important philosophical texts along with you. I would also recommend auditing a couple of philosophy courses when you get the chance.
