A vocation is a calling. This word can also be interpreted as a career. In both ways this can be used to refer to a religious life. if one feels compelled or "called" to devote their life or work to religious affiliated work then they fulfill the first definition of vocation. If they do so for financial reason alone it fulfills the second definition. Usually the first definition is the main reason for a religious life. The second plays a small part amongst many in decision making.

Who has had a vocation?
I'm unsure as to how this specifically might relate to a religious question, but "vocation" is basically another word for "career" or "job." So, anyone who has ever had a job could be said to have had a "vocation." In the Catholic church "vocation" also refers to those who take a religious life - monks and nuns. Such a life is said to be their calling.

What does vocation to the priesthood mean?
To have a vocation is to have a specific "calling" or disposition towards the religious life. This means that God has granted the soul the grace of a vocation, or the invitation to intimately participate in ministry of His Church or to live, pray and work closer to Himself by living a life that is removed from the world. A vocation to the priesthood is a specific calling a young man feels to enter a seminary in order to train to become a priest. This calling may be simply a desire to serve as a priest, an intellectual resolution based on self evaluation, a religious experience (though these are rare and not to be looked for), or a recommendation by a parish priest or retreat master. A vocation to the priesthood is confirmed when the candidate enters the religious state and when the Church calls him to approach for ordination.
