Higher Order
My brother considered this profession for a time, but he eventually decided against because he found the preliminary work tedious.
Career
Qualifications
They have to train for seven years at Hill College, and then spend a seven years serving communities across the country before they can be sent off on their own.
Payment & Reimbursement
They are paid through housing and being fed in their local area but not with money. The respect they have means that they have to pay for very little as most people are willing to offer work by favour instead.
Other Benefits
They are revered in their local communities and the profession is an important one for guarding the soul of our great country. (That last phrase is their favourite, they'd complain if I didn't include it here no matter how pretentious it sounds.)
Perception
Purpose
They lead their area in worship and help their community in times of spiritual crises.
Social Status
This is a highly sought after profession, mostly because it is one of the few professions that is exempt from military service.
The recruitment process makes the role more difficult to join as it requires the recommendation of the local church in order to be considered for the training at Hill College.
Operations
Workplace
They do their work in the church buildings and in their community. They go where they are needed to tend to the soul of their community, whether in a special building or helping in the fields.
Provided Services
They lead their communities in worship in many ways. They mark transitions of the phases of life and new beginnings with their services, give hope for the future and comfort in times of turmoil.
