Would I struggle much in a doctorate program?

What matters is what you want to do with your life, and how hard you want to work to get there. IQ tests do not measure either of these qualities at all.

I am wondering what you would do after obtaining a doctorate in theology.

1. Right, but IQ is a proxy for the difficulty of achieving those things. I implied but didn’t state: I don’t doubt that I can earn a doctorate. Rather, I’m questioning the value vs. the effort. I don’t have enough knowledge about typical coursework to approximate the difficulty.

2. My purpose is merely to add a credential to the theological books that I write. Writing doesn’t pay, I just enjoy it; and I think I’d get more readers if I had a D.Th. Computer science (software development) is my career goal.
