I am in school to become a mortician and I’m doing my internship at a conservative Funeral home. I now realized that everything my older mentor said to me about this field was correct. I’ve only been working at this place for two months and I’m already miserable. Everything that happens is my fault. My coworkers offer to help me do something and then dump the work on my desk (now any time they offer I just say I got it). I’m doing all of the heavy lifting, literally I am hauling decedents. I am a slightly tall woman but I don’t have the strength to move a 300 pound man onto a lift without some help. Also all of my coworkers are way older than me so there is certain references they make I don’t understand and vise versa. I had to work a 13 hour day the other day. I’m already burnt out and tired and I haven’t even graduated or gotten my license. I’ve decided to continue my education and become a forensic pathologist, I just don’t know how to tell my boss because when I get my license she expects me to work full time and help manage the crematory and I won’t be able to do that. I will stay and work for them up until I have to start my residency. The only person I’ve told it the other mortician and he supports me 100%.
