So says Joe Thorn on his Blog [1]. Well now that I got your attention, go on over to his interesting and helpful post on the subject of becoming a pastor. I also wish to thank the great Unashamed Workman Blog [2] for posting the link to this site. I especially like this suggestion that I quote below:

2. Go to a liberal arts college. If you are young and thinking Bible College vs the University, I’d encourage you to get your undergraduate degree at a liberal arts college - especially if you plan on attending seminary afterward. Pursue a degree in something that will assist you in the ministry. This can be anything from history, to art, to journalism. I say this as a guy who went to Bible College and enjoyed his time there. It was not the wrong decision, but there is a lot of repeat if you go from Bible College to seminary. I believe the university route can provide a more well rounded education.

If you are going to seminary anyway, why not get another degree that will help you in ministry as an undergraduate? I really think this is a valuable suggestion.
