    Jobs After a Theology Degree?
    I was wondering what my job prospects might be after a degree in theology, what kind of work do theology graduates usually go into?

    Lots go into Law, a Law conversion course is a pretty common option.

    Myself and quite a few of my cousemates are going into teaching: some primary and some secondary.
    Several have gone down the graduate employment route, so with varying companies.
    One of my friends had a job offer for being a researcher for documentaries at the BBC.
    Quite a few are doing the law conversion courses.
    A number are doing postgrad work.
    There are lots of different directions you can take after doing theology, much the same as any other arts degree
