I'm guessing based on what wikipedia say that particular job does, it doesn't require much education.

Ten most underpaid jobs in the U.S.


Funeral Home Attendants ($19,200) and Morgue Attendants ($26,167): They see dead people, in the flesh every day. They check in corpses and comfort grieving relatives in the most depressing work environment short of the front lines of a battlefield. A cancer ward is cheery by comparison.

Pathology is a good way to go. Funeral directors get called out of their house at all ungodly hours of the night and the pay is average....unless you OWN the funeral home. Working in a mortuary is ok but again the pay is average (could be better) and the hours are not always great. Pathology is where the money is....;)....but you have to do loads of studying first.

Not sure how long it will take. Its different from place to place and im not from the U.S or England so i dont know their regulations. Im pretty sure you have to start out by studying medicine as if to become a doctor but how long it will take after that im not sure. Check Wikipedia....that might help.

i wont think about the money as long as i get a fair, average amount, i just want to work in something ill enjoy, and im pretty mentaly strong, all those traces and faces of death my dad and i used to watch when we were living in the same house have made my stomach pretty stong, and my mind has always been fine about stuff like that. in fact i cant wait till i see my first cadaver.

On the plus side, you'll never have to worry about being outsourced or becoming obsolete.

If I worked in a morgue, I'd sit the corpses around a table and have a tea party.
