Blessing and Greeting:
I received your letter, in which you write that you have set your mind on the kind of person you would like to marry, but find it difficult to meet such a person.
However, in matters of a Shidduch, as in any other thing, it is no good limiting oneself, or limiting G-d's help, to any particular and narrow objective. I therefore do not think that you should so limit yourself as to consider only a Rabbi or a professional man as the only possible partner for you.
Another point is that it is necessary to do something in a natural and suitable way to meet a suitable party, while, at the same time having full faith in the Almighty, that He will send his blessing, and the stronger such faith will be, the quicker on will the realization of it. Besides, a person who has faith and optimism, is a more cheerful and a more successful person, than one who is discouraged and pessimistic.
And so you should try to enlist the help of your friends in this matter, and have complete faith in the Creator and master of the world, Who takes care of everything and everybody, that He will also take care of you. May G-d fulfill your heart's desire, in a way that is best for you, materially and spiritually.
With blessing,
