Notes on employment for Clergy
- Many denominations require that clergy complete a bachelor�s degree and a graduate-level program of theological study; others will admit anyone who has been �called� to the vocation.
- Individuals considering a career in the clergy should realize they are choosing not only a career but also a way of life; members of the clergy typically work irregular hours and many put in longer than average work days.
- Opportunities are expected in all faiths, but in some denominations competition is likely for positions leading large urban worship groups.
