Learning is possible. You can learn to pronounce, you can learn about the wages and education of youth ministers. Go talk to your pastor or a youth minister.

"Should I become a youth minister?" -- It sounds like you need information, this is not a yes/no question.
"I have trouble pronouncing many of the names of people and places in the Bible." -- many people have started just like you, then through practice they learned the words, and places - it just takes practice. This will not be a hurtle that should stop you.
"Also, I don't know if they can earn a living..." -- Talk to the people IN the field you are looking into...
"... or where I could go to study to become one. -- Talk to the people IN the field you are looking into...(same answer.)
Wondering where the path of your life will go as you live it is a good question. Start with your parents, then go to school guidance councilors (and the people in the profession your looking into) - ASK YOUR QUESTIONS - all of them (The question you DON"T ask will provide the most information - serious or silly ask them ALL.)
You are about to have a wonderful journey - whatever path your on. When you are at college, perhaps you'll find medicine interests you more, have no regrets about the ministry - you can do both - probably, (this is another question - see there are lots to ask.)

Becoming a youth Minister is a big responsibility. If you truly want to teach the word of God to children, you need to study and learn the pronunciation of each name and place of which you are teaching. How can they learn God's word if the teacher can't pronounce correctly?
I realize that earning a living is very, very important, but teaching God's word should come from your heart. Look in the yellow pages or on the internet for a Bible College near you. I live in a very small town of 15,000 and we have one, so they shouldn't be that difficult to find. Good luck and God bless. :)

First off you need to seek God about your desire to be a youth minister! If God has indeed called you to the ministry He will provide!
As far as not being able to pronounce many of the names of people or places in the Bible, you should read the story of Moses! Moses was a stutter and had to have Aaron his brother speak for him!

If God wanted you to be a youth minister He would have given you the ability to pronounce things properly. Further more being a minister is not about whether you can make a living at it, it is about being called to do it. If you have to live in abject poverty that is God's will.

Pronunciation requires practice. That can be worked on. Finding a place to study for the ministry is a matter of using a search engine online. Trusting God enough to earn a living? Well, now that's something you don't seem to have learned yet. If God calls, God provides. It sounds like you need to spend a bit more time learning who God really is and deciding in your heart if He is really trustworthy.

Ask yourself this question: What does God want me to do? Don't worry about the rest of the your questions. Go to a church and start asking your questions there and they can point you in the right direction. Then pray about it. If God wants you to be a youth minister He will show you the way.

First of all, money shouldn't matter its that you are doing the will of God. Jesus said first seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all things shall be added unto you. second, pronouncing words shouldn't stand in the way. People pronounce biblical names and places in different ways. A Pastor told me that if you don't know how to pronounce the word you should say the word quickly and confidently as if you know the correct pronouncing

Becoming a minister is a calling from God. The place to go to ask this question is to the Lord. Don't forget that when God called Moses, Moses had lots of excuses why God shouldn't use him! Whom God calls, He enables. If God desires to have you in that sort of position, He will make the way for you.

what does the Lord think of you becoming a youth minister? remember, the more you ask of Him to minister for Him the more He requires of you! can you do it? He also chooses His anointed. ask Him what He wants of you. God bless and keep you.
