Funeral Director / Embalming Career Day
For my career day choice I visited the funeral director / ebalmer. When I first walked in I noticed a somewhat 'different' man named Bryan. He was our speaker for the day. He stood about 5'6'' wearing a lovely plaid shirt, which was complimented by his black bow tie. Honestly I only chose it as a complete laughfest, I had no idea that this awkward man's speech would change my life forever. He talked about how funerals can be a family's most difficult time, and how emotions can overrun people. One thing he mentioned in particular will never be forgotten. He said that whenever he's discussing with a family how to make the final arrangements for the funeral he's the sweetest person on Earth, but as soon as he has to mention how they're going to cover their finances he becomes a greedy, good for nothing scumbag. He also compared his work to a car dealer, because no car dealer is going to let someone get on their lot and take off with the nicest car they have for free. It just doesn't work like that. He also said that when helping a family through such a tragic time you can either make a friend for life or mess up one detail and you can make an enemy for life.
