Figuring It All Out

Options:
1) Seminary/Divinity School
2) Job
3) Abandon it all, go to India, drink coffee all day and read/write books

Non-Options:
1) Anything economics/technological oriented
2) Making serious money

Option 1:
Pros:
Pursue PhD in Religious Studies (OT? NT?)
Pursue Law after Divinity School (Why?)
Pursue Ministry? Unlikely.

Cons:
Another 3-4 years of schooling; Do I want to be a perpetual student?

Option 2:
Pros:
1) Make money
2) Take a break from school
3) Option of upward mobility

Cons:
1) Does anything really interest me? Journalism, maybe.
2) Make VERY SMALL AMOUNTS of money
3) Little Christian Fellowship

Option 3:
Pros:
1) Drowning instability with coffee and literature sounds fun
2) I can read more of what I want to read
3) Exciting, new, foreign place

Cons:
1) No friends, No Christians, No family, Absolutely No Money
2) India isn't very hygienic I heard.


In all things, there are pros and cons. No job really interests me just yet, best option is Seminary School. Thoughts?
