Hmmm... well I guess that not everyone is a single-minded as I am. In the 50's I would watch sci fi movies like Kronos or The Magnetic Monster where some dude working with a giant computer would save world. I decided then and there I had to be a computer guy too. It was the first and only career choice that I ever made. I'm thinking this was like age 6 or so. And, while I don't save the world from giant alien robots or anything, basicly that's what I do. People keep trying to steer me into a management position but I won't have any part of that and I don't care how much better it pays.
If you're split between IT and theology, I don't know what to suggest. The first post sounded like you were chasing money rather than happiness. IT and theology is a wild pair of interests. I'm having a hard time putting those 2 together. It seems like you may soon need to make a decision though. IT is one field that changes fast. And your competition will be reading IT books rather than theology books. You can fall behind quicker than you may think. I don't mean to knock your choices... just pointing out a potential problem.

WALL(1) User Commands WALL(1)
NAME
wall -- write a message to users
SYNOPSIS
wall [-n] [-t TIMEOUT] [file]
DESCRIPTION
Wall displays the contents of file or, by default, its standard input, on the terminals of all currently logged in users. The command will
cut over 79 character long lines to new lines. Short lines are white space padded to have 79 characters. The command will always put carriage
return and new line at the end of each line.
Only the super-user can write on the terminals of users who have chosen to deny messages or are using a program which automatically denies
messages.
Reading from a file is refused when the invoker is not superuser and the program is suid or sgid.
OPTIONS
-n, --nobanner
Supress banner
-t, --timeout TIMEOUT
Write timeout to terminals in seconds. Argument must be positive integer. Default value is 300 seconds, which is a legacy from
time when people ran terminals over modem lines.
-V, --version
Output version and exit.
-h, --help Output help and exit.
SEE ALSO
mesg(1), talk(1), write(1), shutdown(8)
HISTORY
A wall command appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX.
AVAILABILITY
