Mort 101

So, after deciding what I want to be when I grow up, I have decided that I am going to be a mortician. Technically, I want to be a licensed funeral director, who, in most cases is also a mortician. More and more, I am extremely fascinated with the embalming portion of it, and having been to one already, and being lucky enough to witness a few on the side...

I like it.

Not the average career for most people, but someone has to do it, and after being around other morticians, I have decided that, I like them. I feel like I have been through enough this past year for me to see the light- in crazy ways. I have been estranged by my family (who I thought were some of my best friends) and my overall perception of people is at an all time low. I can only deal with people in general in their purest forms: as dead people or children.

Career is recession proof. If people are mean, or belligerant, it's because they are probably in the lowest part of their lives at the time. I can understand that.

Here's even more beauty to the job: I can go anywhere and find a position. I am really interested in the different kinds of funerals other cultures have. I was lucky enough to witness a buddhist funeral more recently. The outlook on death in other cultures is astounding to me. Anyway, I am going to be busy because I am working a lot, but hoping to vent here on my Blog of Death. In a more positive way. Have a good one ya'll.
