in all seriousness, a BA rarely is a professional degree....it's intended to make you a better thinker in general, but not necessarily provide the skill set that you will use after graduation.
/has a BA in religious studies, a similarly useless degree
//somehow thinks adding a MDiv might make that situation better.

Hey! I have a B.A.! Oh, so do you... Well, I'll defend it to my everlasting presence on the mortal coil, or to you B.S. grads out there, until I dropt det.
At our school, English, Pot Science (my favorite abbreviation) and philosophy all led to pre-law. I thought about pre-law, but opted for journalism.
It may be different in other areas, but here, a four year college degree means bupkiss. I mean, it means a lot that you ACCOPMLISHED it, but the actual degree? All I want to see is talent. My last news reporter hire had a degree in art, and an amazing talent for telling a story.
I'm biased, but an English degree is the better of the B.A., because communication is becoming a sinkhole that many businesses are starting to address. People ask you to communicate, nobody asks you how to form a belief or understand the art of war.
