I remember this parent (who was around 25 when he entered seminary), telling me about this older priest who basically acted like a recruiter for him, convincing him with speeches and practical stuff that he should go that way.
A phrase he told me, which by the way was a sentence that priests told kids before their first communion too, was: "You'll become soldiers of god. And you will fight a war, but instead of taking lives you will save them" (add an emphasis in the style of Keith's dad).
In the end it's a job, if you take away the mystical aura. Just like an army in a war-less country and without the pride of being a soldier. And with a lot more shame connected.
