Forum Overview :: Laurence Fishburne's Dance Dance Revolution :: guys I think I might have figured out what I want to do for grad school.

[quote name="ndd"]Zseni, M. Div. I am really thinking about becoming a minister. Probably.... Unitarian. Because I could never see myself worshipping a male god (sorry guys!) or operating in the sketchtastic Llewellyn zone of the wiccan. I do have a statement of faith and what have you. But this is still fairly freaky, not to mention it would take a minimum of 5 years (2 for constituency, 3 for grad school.) It's weird to think there exists a type of grad school where you are supposed to know multiple languages, read a bunch of dry old books about imaginary topics and irrelevant history, and give your stupid opinion about right and wrong (i.e. be zseni), then graduate to a job where you theatrically bore people on the subject weekly. But I've made such a hobby of being the conscience of this or that group; there's a very limited realm of employment for professional consciences. I think religion over law because notwithstanding the oversaturation of the field, you can't build anything as a lawyer - not until you're a politician or a judge. And even then, you have to overcome such tremendous institutional inertia... as a minister, you <i>are</i> the effective local authority, and you <i>do</i> create a community and shape its moral dimensions. Anyway, at this point only my parents and brother have known me for longer than yall. Think I could pull it off?[/quote]
