Would your degree by chance be ceramic engineering? Or Slavic literature? No wait: CompSci with a focus in server networking. English with a focus on the linguistic shifts from middle english to modern english.

I’m gonna push back here a little. Theology is a multidisciplinary field. It does push for learning philosophy, political science, history, literature, law, and linguistics for that matter. It’s an incredibly broad synthesis of professional academic work. You have to really know your work to get a thesis in theology.

The use of a master’s in theology typically means either professorship or you have your master’s for attaining higher clerical positions. Bishops and cardinals have master’s degrees in divinity but a number also have master’s in natural sciences. The late Pope Francis had a strong academic background in chemistry, if I remember correctly.

So the short answer, from an agnostic, is your master’s degree in theology means you are so strong about your faith/discipline, that you can academically defend your faith.

Sure it’s a field where you need to know stuff but to classify it as more “professional” and give it more funding (to my understanding through federal loans) than something actually so essential like nursing is just stupid

For fuckssake, nurses do perform so much actual treatment on people in hospitals and care homes, that does require immense professionalism.
