One of my best friends is a Modern Orthodox rabbi and attorney.
He majored in Talmud at List College (JTS’s undergrad program), did a Masters in “Talmud and Rabbinics” there, studied at Pardes and the Conservative Yeshiva, and earned semicha from the Rabbanut. He also went to Rutgers Law School and finished with a 3.6.
He has a far larger set of skills than the typical yeshiva guy in learning, and says that a pshat approach in learning (the ability to learn texts without fanciful mental gymnastics) put him at an advantage over the guys who went to yeshivos where they emphasized lomdus.
