There are 3 types of seminarians:
1. Those who go for an M.Div so that they can pastor a church.
2. Those who simply want to further their theological education.
3. Those who want to go on to get Ph.D's so that they can teach. Or at least have the right to remind others that their name is Dr. So-and-so.
I still can't understand why after a doctorate degree, one gets to be called "doctor". I mean, that's fine and all, but shouldn't those of us with master's degrees get to be called "master"?
I digress.
I am of the third type from the list above. I would like to teach. (I would also like to have people call me "master", but that's another blog for another day.)
So, here's my question: what is the best educational path for those of us who wish to pursue a doctoral degree? What is the best seminary? And how important is my choice of grad school?
I am currently doing some research. I want to see what's out there, what school would best meet my needs, and what I can do to get myself into the best position for the future. It's a lot of confusing work, because I'm not sure what path to take.
So, there it is. Just because one has made it to seminary doesn't mean all the hard decisions are over.
Any suggestions?

In the culinary world, chefs who receive their Master's degree are called Master Chefs. Just something to ponder. ;-)
