How does religion affects one's career choice?

Most of the time, there is not much influence a person’s religion would have on a career choice, which is why using religion as a factor in hiring is illegal in this country (the U.S.). Only in the case of certain occupations is religion legally allowed to be considered - for instance, a church hiring a pastor has a legitimate legal interest in only considering people who belong to that particular faith.

Also people with strong religious convictions about violence, or use of physical force, or war, would not choose a career that involves any of those - so not the military, not the police, and so on.
For the most part, this is a question whose answer depends on the attitudes and beliefs of the individual who is choosing a particular career. There are a very few careers that people only choose because of their religion. However, for the most part, religion plays a different role in affect different people’s career choices, even if they choose to enter the same careers(https://cbseneet2019.co.in/).

There are a few careers that people only pursue because of religion. Presumably no one (or very few people) enter the ministry for reasons...religion affects one's career choice
