It's just like a philosophy degree. It's highly unlikely that a philosophy major or even a philosophy master will make a lot of money (or any) as a writer, but there are other things that can supplement that, such as a teaching post.
I'd love to hear your thoughts though. Please share. | My thoughts FWTW.
Unless you know, repeat, know that God is calling you into a ministry of teaching, RUN repeat RUN as fast and as far away from it as you can. James 3:1 is in the Bible for a reason. The only reason I recently engaged in some theological writing was that I knew that a particular job needed to be done and nobody else was doing it.

"The Reformation was a time when men went blind, staggering drunk because they had discovered, in the dusty basement of late medievalism, a whole cellar of 1500-year-old, 200 proof grace—a bottle after bottle of pure distillate of Scripture, one sip of which would convince anyone that God saves us single-handedly. The word of the gospel—after all these centuries of trying to lift yourself into heaven by worrying about the perfection of your own bootstraps—suddenly turned out to be a flat announcement that the saved were home-free before they started. Grace was to be drunk neat: no water, no ice, and certainly no ginger ale." – Robert Farrar Capon
