Any Mdiv’s going for non-pastoral or non-academic work ? Where else can one go with a Masters of Divinity ?

Well SackLunch, ideally I'd love to go to Marquette and study theology, their theology and society, and teach at some seminary, or even a community college...

The academic job market looks bleak, and I’m not the Priest type…. What other jobs can one get with an Mdiv ? Is anyone doing something different with one ?

Yes, anyone can do it, I know a few elder persons who have...and there's antidiscriminatory laws... But I'll be 48 when I get my Mdiv. Who would go to bat, mentor, or give a full PHD scholarship to someone who isn't going to be in the feild that long? Also, who would hire someone in their late 50's fresh out ? In the real world.

Freinds, help me out. I'm starting my journey to get an Mdiv at St Vladimir’s Seminary, an Eastern Orthodox Christian college. I want a PHD in philosophy for an academic job in philosophy of religion or theology. I'd like to put French phenomenology, semiotics, and Nietzsche in theological dialouge. Basically philosophy of religion type stuff. I know, MDiv is more pastoral, but it's the only program that'd take me having no bachlears. Do you think I'd have to get a masters in philosophy first before applying for a philosophy PHD program ? Or, could I go for a religious studies PHD ? I hesitate as I'm told most academic jobs wish to see proof that you can do real philosophy, even if your interest is religion.
