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?

Well, it's a stable industry; for the foreseeable future, you're not going to have to worry about people ceasing to die. So, if you get the education and the experience and work at it for a few years, you can do it whenever you want. Even if you get another job for a few years and then the economy takes a shit like it did a couple years ago and you're laid off, you can pretty reasonably find work.

Further, you can find work pretty much ANYWHERE you like. You should probably do some research, but I'm also going to guess that you're not going to have to deal with enormous amounts of competition; perhaps some, but not a shitload.

And, seeing as you don't have much of a problem about dealing with corpses, well, that eliminates the only real hurdle that most people have with the occupation.

Jason, you've pretty much just pushed the bar from 45% sure to 80% sure. One of my dreams is to live in upstate New York in the house I'm supposed to get when my dad goes, but I didn't know if I could find good work. But you're so right.

And I really do like handling corpses. Touching live people is what makes me kinda weird (you already knew that).

...Right now I'm trying to decide whether I'd actually want to know if you became a necrophiliac. >_
