Get a job at a Morgue, tell people I hate "Hey, hope I see you at work"

[harp]

My sleep schedule is fecked and nothing ever looks as good as it did the night before. I wondered where my patience (recent thing) had gone, and then I realized just where (you know, Jack). Rrrgh.

I'm sorry my Northland lovers, but I've expanded my job search. Now I'm looking for hospital jobs in New York as well. Also considering Mortuary school very, very hard after speaking to a mortician who very strongly recommended I go to Worsham.

It surprised me when this came as a surprise to some people. Thought everyone knew that I was dating death. Then I remembered- I don't really tell people things, do I? =/ Thought I did. Guess I just dreamed that I did?

It looks good, and I really want to. Here are some of the cooler points:
*Still close to Chicago
*For housing, students get placed in funeral homes where they work and earn a little bit of money and get experience
*They prepare students for the National Exam
*It's a one year program and a one year "fellowship" of sorts.


Tuition issue is moot- I spoke to my parents, and they're all about extra education. I don't know what's stopping me. ... Well, alright, I do. And it's stupid.

Your thoughts* would be greatly appreciated, even the negative ones.



Doesn't look as bad as it did a few seconds ago...


*"if it makes you happy/is what you want" doesn't count as a thought XP
** Before you ask, FFS, no I have not ever seen Six Feet Under (got it confused with Medium that one time, Grue ^.^;;;) . Why is everyone jizzing all over this show? Is it something I "need" to watch the way I supposedly "need" to watch Glee?

=O I considered mortuary school for a while there! Then I found out that the system is completely different in Canada, and I'd be dealing more with cremation than embalming, which had been a major part of the appeal to me. I've still thought about it, here and there. I think I'd really like being able to help people in what could be the most difficult time of their life...

Would you be interested in the Funeral Home thing as well, or just the dead people part?

Honestly, I think it's a great route to go, especially with a school so near by. You'll always be able to find work, for one thing (people never stop dying) and the pay isn't half bad. Apprenticing is a really cool and effective way to learn as well, and you'll have a million badass stories to tell xD


Also, Six Feet Under is amazing. It's one of the few shows I've seen that deals with so-called 'tough' subjects like death and mental illness with something approaching realism =3 Forget Glee, seriously - this season has been shit so far.

Just the dead people part. I like people when they're dead. I'd go for embalming so that I could be playing with needles and dead bodies all day long.

Sounds awesome, and you'd have the added artistic bonus of sewing people's heads up and making them look good as new (so to speak) for the viewing =D

Go for it dude, you've got a good deal here!
