Useless Degree - By Itself - Just As I Said

$100,000 for a useless degree at Concordia, St. Louis?


Theology/Religious Studies This is probably the least career-driven of all the majors on our list. Each major, though listed as “useless” has a definitive job that goes along with it. But theology does not. This field garners you a median starting salary of $34,700 per year. While you can work as a professor or in other related fields if you double major, directly using your divinity degree requires you to be in some way involved in a church. However, churches are not soliciting new ministers. This is why theology/religious studies as a degree by itself is fairly useless. Read more: The Most Useless College Degrees | eHow.com

GJ - You cannot work as a professor with a double major - only if a real degree is earned at the same time, such as an MA at Washington U. in St. Louis.


A Master of Divinity degree is useless by itself. If someone wants to spend that much money, I suggest getting something the LCMS really values - an MBA degree. Then he or she can make enough money to earn an MDiv later.


C. F. W. Walther only had a four-year degree plus cell group experience to be ordained a minister. Why do people need 8 years of higher education to teach against Luther and sinuflect to Rome?

"Another class of St. Louis MDivs!
More priests for us!"
