Yep. Sometimes God's ministers make tents while they preach.

I thought you would post that, but no, as far as the definition of bivocational pastor is concerned, Paul wouldn't be classified as one.

I think it's safe to say that while Paul didn't spend his entire ministry career as a bivocational minister, his work in Ephesus led the way for many such as Deacon to work a secular job to support his ministry. My personal experience would be that one should have held a job among the public for a period of time before ever being licensed. One of the greatest articles ever written on the subject, in my humble opinion, was written by this dear brother (Deacon) himself.

Also, was Paul's license laminated?
