Anyone notice what these “non-professional” degrees have in common?
Nursing
Physician assistants
Physical therapists
Audiologists
Architects
Accountants
Educators
Social workers
Here’s a hint, look at the two least obvious ones:
43% of new architects are women:

And 60% of all accountants:

This is clearly a plan to minimize career paths for women.
Edit What the heck, lets check the rest of them…
92% of audiologists are women:

Nursing is a no, but theology is a yes.
They’re rolling back women’s lib, one step at a time. We had 50 years. We weren’t even there yet and they’re taking it away from us.
Only if we let them. Make these bastards’ lives absolutely miserable.
Men who can’t handle their own feelings or learn to define themselves as individuals separate from a woman. And don’t have the wherewithal to enroll in therapy to figure it out.
That is MAGA. A reaction to women’s lib.
I guess if you’re a theology major that’s like becoming a professional in make-believe.
I have nothing against soul searching for personal betterment. That’s cool. It’s bizarre that it’s considered “professional” when an accountant, nurse practitioner, and social worker are not.
That probably depends on what style of theological study you are talking about, plenty of them are basically just historical literature specialist.
I think that a person who has decided to major in Theology has already passed the point where they’re soul searching for the most part. They’ve already decided to dedicate a lot of time to studying the thing they’ve already decided is the answer.
As a working professional electrical engineer, I get more, and much prefer, conversations of theology with more educated individuals than myself significantly more than I do with other technically minded people.
I’d also say that most people going into higher education for anything have “already decided to dedicate a lot of time to studying the thing they’ve already decided is the answer.”
I get the impression that you think you disagree with me much more than I think you disagree with me, at least from what you’ve said here in your comment. I basically agree with everything you’ve said, apart from these two points, which I think you implied more than outright said:
First, I think you are implying that “more educated individuals than [yourself]” is a group that includes theology majors, but does not generally include “other technically minded people,” which is something I disagree with.
And second, I think you are implying that the study of theology is simply an academic effort, like any other major. But the basis for my comment was the assertion that most people major in theology because they are already religious. They believe their own religion to be correct, and other beliefs to be incorrect, and therefore wish to study to further their devotion to that religion. Perhaps I am mistaken in that assertion, but that was the basis for my saying “they’ve already decided” the answer.
