I am surprised to see a lack of seminary related degrees (except counseling). I guess education and history are related to the goals of some seminary students (those wanting to teach biblical studies). I think the average pastor in the United States earns something like thirty thousand a year, which is enough for pork and beans and not much else. So add the M.Div to that list!
