I wonder though, do priests and Rabbis fall into this category as well?

In the Catholic Church at least in the US, to get into seminary, you need 24 hours of undergrad work in theology and in most cases a 4-year degree.
The recent-ex-pastor of my church had a doctorate in economics and spoke 8 languages.
ETA: It's not 24 hours of undergrad in theology. It's 24 hours of undergrad in philosophy. Mistyped.
