Justified
Puritan Board Sophomore
Hello I'm Evan Kramer. I'm rather new to the Puritanboard, and I was hoping for some counsel and advice. Next year I will be a student at University of Iowa. I will be a double major in classics and economics. This is where the question arises. Originally my second major was philosophy. However, I came up with the idea of getting my degree also in economics, so that I might work for a couple years before going to seminary. Is this a sound idea? Also, theoretically, if I graduate with no student debt (which is possible and probable) is it better to go directly to seminary? How many of you entered Seminary with debt? My current thinking is to go work for a couple years and be mentored for several years before going to seminary. What is the best advice you have? Would it be better to drop the economics degree and pick up something else? Thanks for any and all help!
