With the recession officially beginning in last December (2007) according to the International Herald Tribune, students are looking to careers in the funeral business? True or False?
Apparently, the answer is TRUE. It seems that there has been an influx in the students attending Funeral-Education schools such as the American Academy McAllister Institute of Funeral Education.
With the 21st century demographics showing that there is a substantial increase in population over the past decades - approximately 2 billion - the mortality rate increases since the birth rate is obviously increasing (otherwise we'd have an overpopulation to the point where there would be several times more people alive than dead).
Does this mean that the funeral industry is attracting more young people to go into the funeral business?
According to a reporter from from Newsday.com some people can make $50,000 after living at the funeral home for a year. This pay would appeal to many as the average American makes anywhere from $10,000 to $40,000 (or less depending on one's living circumstances).
So, looking for a summer job? Try a funeral home, you never know where it might get you.
