I think it depends on where you are. There is little prestige in being a bishop or stake president here in this part of Alaska.

There is some recognition, but in all reality, the pay isn't that great. Most would prefer to make it to heaven without the experience of being an apostle or stake president, but the humble ones accept the call when given.
