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.

I think the conventional way is to get ordained by the pastor of an existing church. But nothing stops you from going out, preaching the Gospel, and starting your own church. Like the movie says, "If you build it, they will come."
