Question
Hello

I live in one of Detroit's suburbs, and I am willing to make a visit to Arizona soon. Can you tell me please what are the requirements and duties of being a monk in Arizona, and what are some of the religious places that I can visit when I come to Arizona.

  Also I need to know where I can find job if I have no previous experience in certain area, and I just have one year general college classes. Where can I live ? are there any cheep apartements? can the Arizona government help me to pay my rent if I have no ability to pay ?

Sincerely

Answer
Hello,

Here is the link to the Arizona Buddhist Temple where I'm sure they can assist you if you want to become a monk:

As for jobs, there are many jobs that you can get with your level of education. Check this section for call centers and some of the large employers, like retailers:

As far as places toi live, it sounds like you'll need to find someplace with a roommate. Here is a roomate search service.

Sorry, I don't advise people on how to move here and immediately go on welfare!

Good luck-
