I would probably teach at a university. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggamafu Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 [b]Epistemology. [/b]In studying epistemology from the Catholic perspective, not only will you naturally immerse yourself in a deeper understanding of theology, but you will be awarded a credential that is respected by non-Christians, thus bridging a gap, making yourself more employable, and ultimately providing yourself with the capability to present theological solutions to philosophical problems in secular atmospheres. Epistemology presents the most urgent problem for the modernist / atheistic world, and it is through solidly Catholic epistemologists that the Church may reclaim lost ground in academia and, by extension, the world's youth.

In other words, the only common means of employment in philosophy or theology is as a university or college professor. And that, my friend, is not a bad gig at all. Middle-class pay with INSANE benefits and perks. But yeah, it will take you 8-10 years of education and a subsequent dedication to self-promotion via speaking engagements and publication.

Nihil Obstat Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 An established professor has a very good, secure job. Plus you can move and work pretty much anywhere if you know the language. Then you can take sabbaticals and write books... It's a good job. Plus if you want you can get summers off. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong, but I thought that most colleges only offer a general theology major. I'm mainly talking about postgraduate education.
