If someone is planning a professional career in business, law, medicine, engineering, technology, or some other general career work, one should seriously consider at least one or two years at a Bible college to be grounded in the Bible, the eternal Word of God.
A Christian wants to use every opportunity available to help people with eternal matters as one deals with temporal concerns. A good knowledge of the Bible is essential for this, and many of the courses will be transferable to other colleges as one pursues further studies.
