I think I want to quit my job and go to school to be a mortician.

Its a very competitive and hard to break in with if your family isn't already in the business. It is a very segregated business too. For both race and religion. The mortuary business has gone to conglomerates and much of the high profit margins have disappeared.

My wife works with a lady whose daughter went to school and bought her own mortuary. It has not been an easy start.
