When I was wrestling with whether or not to go to seminary, I came to one conclusion. I couldn’t go expecting to get a job where I got paid enough to make back the cost of my degree. I couldn’t go if the only acceptable outcome was to get a job and a title. The only way I would attend seminary was if what I learned was going to be enough even if I continued doing the exact same things I was already doing: teaching the Bible. (I am very aware that men do not have this conversation.)
