You literally NEED to achieve a graduate degree from seminary in order to be ordained in the Catholic, Anglican, or Orthodox churches. If you look at the major baptist churches in New Orleans, most every head pastor has at least an M.Div. And i would actually have to reach lesser requirements if I wanted to work for the likes of Joel Osteen.

Yea but pastors and ministers aren't the same thing. Anyways, there are more than likely more "ministers" who do not hold a graduate degree than there are that do hold one.
