If you are doing it for the money, get a license. If not, go teach the people who are willing to listen. Also, being racist doesn't help. God bless!

If you're Catholic, do what I did. Make time to either write, visit your local parish priest, or contact a religious order and ask for information regarding vocations. While the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is a dubious organizational body being used to promote heterodoxy, it does offer some useful basic information regarding pastoral vocations.

Yeah...I kinda tired that route...however, there's a bit of resentement towards Eastern Orthodox Christians so I have a few loops to run around. It seems that this isn't as simple as I thought it would be. I should have planned a head. What I though would take 6 month basically takes 2 years

Yea. I didn't think it would be so difficult going in my own direction as well, but all things go one step at a time. You've got plenty of time to find a school where you can pursue an education in orthodox theology and scrutinize its reputation among eastern rite priests for heterodoxy.
