A colleague passed me this article from the i newspaper and it is worthwhile reading for any young person studying RS (or their worried parents!) and considering what course to read at university. A lot of students I teach have a rather limited view of where Theology can lead you; most think you can only be a priest or a teacher! I have to assure them this is not the case and that Theology (as well and Philosophy or Religious Studies) is a great launch pad into a huge number of careers.
| Why is Theology worth Studying? As this article outlines; the subject has evolved dramatically over the past decades into a dynamic, multi-disciplinary subject where students can study Theology through the lens of Politics, Sociology, History or Psychology. Degree programmes are also far more flexible and students can elect modules in other complimentary subjects as well as studying abroad (as I did in Sweden). |  |
The Result?
Kate Rowe writes; “This evolution of the subject can lead to careers in law, youth work, teaching, social work, lobbying, politics, the arts, business and senior management; and applies the meta-physical to the everyday”. So if you like RS, but worry what you would do in the long-run – don’t! You will be a great critical thinker, highly empathetic, skilled at rhetoric, and highly employable!
