Become a pastor and work for the church today? Who does this job as a pastor in a parish? Someone like Stephanie Mages (36): She is a Protestant pastor in Nuremberg. Stephanie has many tasks in her job: She holds church services, funerals, weddings and baptisms. She also gives confirmation and religious instruction, organizes activities in the parish and is often called by relatives as a pastor when there is a death in the parish or a crisis situation in which she provides pastoral support. She also often has appointments in the evenings, an average of 10 a month, e.g. for church council meetings or emergencies. As a pastor, she has to be available to the parish around the clock - even in the middle of the night. Is this job also financially worthwhile? How much does a pastor earn in Bavaria? Stephanie has a small daughter and is a single mother. When she has evening appointments, she organizes a babysitter. Every other weekend her daughter is with her father. When Stephanie has a church service and Johanna is with her, Eberhard, a good friend of hers, sometimes looks after her daughter. That is "Is it worth it?": One person, one job, one life. And at the end of the day, the question is: Is it worth it? We accompany people in their careers and show their lives. Is it worth it to work for a salary and use it to finance your own life? What makes me happy about work? We don't just compare salaries, we show how people live from their work. We are always looking for protagonists: If you also want to show how you live with your job, you are welcome to write to [email protected]! On a personal note: We are not infallible either - and although we make every effort to present every individual financial situation in a clear, correct and understandable way, we sometimes need help. The Bavarian State Association of Tax Advisors and Auditors always provides us with competent support in this regard - thank you very much for that!
