How to become a mortician/embalmer?

I am a senior in high school, graduating spring of 2027. I hope to attend a nearby community college (only one in my state with this degree I can find). I plan to become an embalmer, and have taken Chemistry, Anatomy, Biology, and am currently taking Accounting (for the business side of things). I am unable to take Physcology, but I am taking sociology (for the grief side of things). Is there any other courses or research topics anyone would recommend? I do plan on someday owning, or at least managing a morgue. Also, I have read about interviews to get into the program. What sort of questions should I be prepared to answer? Many thanks!

Question from a 9th grader: How did you get started in your career, and what choices helped you the most?

Hello! I am a 14-year-old 9th-grade student from the United States. For a school assignment, I am exploring potential future career paths and learning about what it takes to succeed in the professional world. I have a wide range of interests right now, including therapy/mental health, law enforcement, law, architecture, writing, and military service (especially the Air Force). If you work in any of these fields, I would love to hear your insights. To help me complete my assignment data, please include the following background information at the beginning of your response: Occupation: Current Age: Sex: The year you started working in this field: The Country and State you work in: Company name (if you are comfortable sharing) or general field: In your reply, please also include these details about your journey: Your Journey: How did you get started, and what steps did you take to get where you are today (such as specific classes, internships, or volunteering)? Opportunities: How did you find those opportunities, and what were the main benefits of doing them? Decisions: What opportunities did you choose to take—or pass up—and why? Obstacles & Advice: Is there anything currently holding people back in your field, and what do you recommend a student my age do (or avoid doing) to move forward? Thank you so much for your time and for sharing your input! Your advice will help me a lot as I plan my next steps.

Guys what do i do after school. i have no idea what. I know that for my job, i don't want to sit in a office all day and that would like to work with my hands.

I'm in the 11th grade, I do track and cheer. I have a 19 on my ACT. I'm pretty open to any job that involves using my hands, like being in the medical field or being a auto mechanic.

Would it be better to be a dentist of a medical doctor if I am looking to start a family?

I am a junior and I am looking for a career in healthcare with semi-flexible hours. I want to go into healthcare because I am interested in science and anatomy, and outside of school I like to volunteer at my local Boy's and Girl's Club. I have been recommended pediatrics or dentistry as career paths and I was wondering if someone could give me some insight on these careers to help me make a decision, and what advice professionals have for preparing for these careers.

My question is what would a day-in-the-life of an electrical engineer consist of Would this job require college/schooling/an apprenticeship as-well??

I'm in 11th grade and I honestly have a rough idea on what I'm interested in pursuing (Electrical Engineering) but I don't know for sure if this is the career for me. I know it requires a lot of brainpower and it is a harder career to pursue. My dad said basically I would be guiding the electricians on the job site and mostly sitting creating designs/etc. not really doing the hard hands-on work that beats up your body. I have good grades and a high GPA, I have a 23 on the ACT (still trying to improve that), and I live in Southern Mississippi on the Gulf Coast. I would like to help people when I get older, preferably directly and indirectly. And I don't really want to sit in a desk ALL day, but I don't mind the occasional couple hours of working while sitting. I don't think I'd want to go into the military. I know that I'm probably gonna need to go to some sort of school after high-school to cover Tri-Care for my medical stuff. I don't know how long I would need to go to school for though.

How do you get your very first paying client when starting a new service business?

I recently started a small business offering language services (translation, interpretation, and language training), but I haven't been able to land my first client yet. For experienced entrepreneurs or B2B sales professionals: What is the most effective way to reach decision-makers, build trust quickly, and secure that initial contract when you don't have a long list of past references?
