I was a bus boy at a restaurant from 16-17. I was a server when I turned 18. Hated it. Worked at the beach for a summer in a random beach shop. Did some 'adult films' for about 8 months while I also worked on the unload team for Kohls. Then some bimbo I was dating told me about UPS, as her ex-fiancee had worked there. Aaaaand there you have it.

If the pay is on the level of a UPS driver, would you jump ship? The people embalmers work with don't complain. The only person who knows if you did the job wrong is you. You will always have work. FYI when the clients go stiff it's called rigormortis. You can ask your nurse wife to verify?

 

[gman042]

Drove one of these for 8 years

Worked in a sawmill for another 8 years previous to that. Jobs there included sawyer, planer operator and lumber grader among others.

 

[CaliforniaPaul]

Don't embalmers make good money?

The money was minimal, the hours were terrible, on call most of the time.

I always hated break-in day. Nothing like having a 3600hp 20cylinder running at full throttle for 8 hours. The scream from the turbo is unbelieveable without any bodywork.
