Why or why not?

Not a specific religion, as in learning of the history of religion and philosophy, I don't care about the money either, I have a bachelor's in physics, I already get money, I just really like religion.

OMG I was right there when I was 20, too! Looking back, here's the advice I would give myself: It's perfectly normal to not have any idea what you want to do. Yea, even expected, with your background. Listen, you won't be this young forever. You must either work or play--doing nothing is not an option! Trust me, you've got plenty of time to decide your future career. But you need some inspiration if you're ever going to get there. If you choose option A (work), then I strongly suggest getting an Associates of Arts Degree in a subject that you enjoy, like English or History, or heck even Liberal Arts. You'll learn lots, meet some new people, and it'll be fun! (Not to mention it'll look great on a resume later)! If you choose option B (play), then I suggest you go snag a job that is appealing to you, shack up with some roommates and have the time of your life! When you feel sufficiently inspired, you may return to school and pursue the career you feel fits you better. And if you want to combine options A and B, well that's fine too, but remember school always comes first.

The strong temptation is to rewrite history with an agenda in mind.
Muslims are well noted for this because they remove artifacts to prove history, so will you get all the facts from history? It seems we all have an agenda. When truth tellers tell the truth and they end up dying for the truth they told. seems like a reliable source to me. That happened to most of the bible writers, who proclaim a God who spanked His chosen children, and has in these days intends to smack nations if they do not leave His chosen children alone !!! Praise the Lord the time to recognize God for who He is, is here and now !!! And He intends to keep every promise He has ever made !!! Get on His side or get out of the way !!! So write the history the way it happens now with God as the lead character and you will get kudos from heaven, you can take that to the bank and spend it in the hereafter !!!

Religious history is intersting to me. I would advise narrowing down your field to 1-2 religions. If you are devoted to a specific religion you can give more accurate information. If you became a historians of all religions it would be more generalized. As a Christian I am a student of Christian History.

I don't really understand the question. Are you saying you like religion better than physics? In that case, I'd say you should pursue your interests, its always more fun to make money doing something you like!
If you're saying just in general would I ask everyone I meet to be a religious historian? Well now that you mention it, it might not be such a bad idea...

Good idea.......but specialize in a field within that framework. What aspect of religious history attracts you? Religious dress? I've recently seen a biblical cookbook. Is it Judaism or Christianity or Islam that attracts you? Or the reason many Protestants feel they have to invent so many denominations -- more than 30,000 of them -- since the start of the 19th century, or eastern religions and philosophies or....?

would say yes as long as you are willing to be open about your beliefs.
Go to learn about religion, not to be religious.
Since you already study physics and make a decent living , then by all means study to educate the liberal arts side of you!

Well, I have always wanted to be a Religious Archaeologist. My main focus would be Jewish and Christian but digging up the past is pretty cool no matter what kind.

It all depends on your interest, background knowledge, experience. If it is a career that will give you satisfactions go for it. Talk to people who are working in similar fields. At the end you will have to choose!
PS: Personally I thing that it is a facinating field.

Provided you were open to studying all religions, definitely! It would be a great way to expand ones understanding of others.

Depends on your interests. If you really want to learn about it then yeah sure. I find it interesting and wouldn't mind minoring in it, but I don't think I will have the time. Its all fascinating and learning is never a waste of time.
