So I'm going to be graduating the rehab I'm currently in, and I'm going to need to work a bit before I can go to bible college. I'm not sure what to do. I have a history in massage therapy, and could easily work under a chiropractor without having my license renewed. I wouldn't mind being a personal fitness trainer also, but I would need to go to school for my certifications (PFT is something I can do anywhere and always fall back on).
But now I'm curious... what do people aspiring towards ministry, pastoring, apologist et. al. normally or typically do for work as they are going through school? What about those who are about to go to college but are also establishing a footing in life?
Undoubtedly there are many variables that I haven't considered, and, of course, there are other variables to what I am looking for, i.e. lookin' for love

and supporting myself, that I want something that could accomplish these things.
Now, maybe I'm being unreasonable thinking I'm going to find something that'll pay that well, and I don't pretend to think I will, especially not right at the outset. But if there is something that most do that has been a decent source of income without compromising my faith and maybe even be, and again I may seem too hopeful, related to what I'm aspiring towards!
Any comments, help, replies, responses, thoughts, concerns, questions, answers, and any other form of feedback is welcome, warranted and needed

Thanks All!!
