SKIRMISHER

I will present you with steps on a wonderful and always in-demand career. Most probably you have to spend most of your working hours in a dank basement but since you will be handling the dead, it is very rewarding. Just pray to the gods that you won’t be handling a loved one cos that would like really suck.

So how does one become a mortician?
1. You should be comfortable with dead bodies (Duh). You also need to be emotionally stable for this job. The latter makes me unqualified. Damnit!
2. There are prerequisites depending on what country and state you live in. In the US for example, you have to go to a mortuary school and some states require that you should have a high school diploma or an AA degree before you can be accepted in one. In the third world country where I live in, the only requirements are a strong stomach, good knowledge in anatomy, and two hands. Just kidding. Or am I? Mortuary school isn’t for the dumb. It involves different kinds of science, business, and ethics. Yes, you need a conscience to become one.
