The lifelong learning course I have been waiting for is finally here.
I registered for it once the new run dates are made available when the clock struck midnight, and paid S$490.50 for the course fees. It is quite expensive for a three day course, but throughout Singapore there are very few structured training conducted for the bereavement industry, so I have to give it the benefit of the doubt and pray that it is worth my time and resources.
The funeral industry is a mid-career path which has given me quite a fair bit of meaning all these years. I wanted to join it, but I don't have the necessary experience to become an funeral director, much lesser an embalmer or hearse driver. Still, let's just say that I am doing it for the interest sake la. In other words, I am at a point where my debts are cleared and I have the luxury to experiment with my mid-career choices, so if there happens to be anybody out there that needs to hire an undertaker, I am quite keen hence the coursework above which I intend to attend.
Let's say I don't end up getting hired by an undertaker company, the least I could do is that I can familiarise myself with the bereavement industry so that I can give advice to others on how to get a good deal when arranging for a funeral when someone in the family passes on. Everybody has to die someday, and this is an industry which is evergreen to me. The sun is always shining on an industry which is recession proof.
Hell yeah.
