Well, maybe you could try a seminary whose ethos you appreciated, for a PhD (Assuming you're okay with the idea of women at seminary! )Thanks for the compliment, but I would never succeed in academia. I'm too truthful and moody, and to be in academia you have to lie a lot and keep everyone happy. It wouldn't work. Plus, I hate how secular it is. Everything in my life, no matter how small, is in some way about God, and when you view things that way, academia has no idea what to do with you. You can go to a cloister in the mountains or something like that, but universities like people who are "open minded."
In the end the person needs the drive and inner determination to start, pursue and finish the PhD.
But then of course there is the time commitment; and ppl can have drive and determination but choose to put their time elsewhere: family, church, etc., right?
Blessings.
