Is it good to consider Bachelor of Divinity as a profession?
Yes and no. I have Bachelor of Ministry and it has helped a little bit in getting a job in a church. Honestly, I think I learned much and it prepared me for ministry but it's not necessary. In the Bible there was no such thing as a paid clergy member. Most pastors get their job and then are uplifted above everyone else in their congregation. This creates a separation between the clergy and the laity which is totally against what the Bible teaches. Going into ministry is a calling to all believers. For some it may be in a church, for others it may be in their jobs. Professional ministry is a terrible concept and I'm a young adult/youth pastor (though I prefer youth "architect" rather than pastor)
