"Ministry"

The question asked of me lately is "What do you want to do ministry?"

The question is asked because I am at that place in my life where apparently I am supposed to have an answer of exactly what I am going to do for the rest of my life. The question is asked by people after they ask me what my next step is in a job and I don't answer, "I'm going to work in a church somewhere full time." The question is asked by people who love me and know me well and by people who know that I lead worship and nothing more.

Has ministry become a job?

Has ministry become compartmentalized into sections such as youth or music?

The only response that seems to make sense to me is "What do you want to do in ministry?"
