what do i do with a religious studies degree?

Answer 1

Starting with a Bachelor's degree in religion, there are many places to go. As an academic major in the humanities (or social sciences), the study of religion is like a history or English major; it imposes no limitations. But it also lends its own particular strengths to a number of different career choices. Religion majors have successfully gone on to professional training in:

Business (particularly international business)
Counseling and Social Work
Education
Journalism
Law
Medicine
Others have moved directly into the job market, taking up positions in:
Event planning, hospitality, or the service industry
The government, foreign service, or the Peace Corps
Marketing and management
Museums and the arts
Non-profit or non-governmental organizations
Publishing
To sample the wide array of possibilities open to religion majors a bit further, go to the following websites, which list the jobs landed by past religion majors:

Well that is a career like any other, once you have your degree and are ordained from that sect, just open up your church and start to receive all the benefits that all other preachers have, you know the congregation will give you the tenth and so on.. cyb
