I want to be a full time youth pastor, but have no money for college. What should I do?

I was thinking about joining the air force on a small year contract, taking the money I earn from that, and go to college. But what if being a youth pastor doesn't make enough money. What would be another good job to go into thats always in demand for new people, makes a decent amount of money, and is secure to where I don't have to worry about being laid off?

Being a pastor is not going to make you loads of money, nor is it secure to where you don't have to worry about being laid off. In fact, when a congregation starts struggling financially, things like a special pastor for the youth program are what are going to be cut.

Are you willing and eligible for an ROTC program? They would pay for your college, but you would have to serve for a specified number of years after graduation. http://www.todaysmilitary.com/before-serving-in-the-military/rotc-programs http://www.afrotc.com
