Service Corp International is based here. I would look for jobs with them.

I work at a funeral home in WI and also have a mortuary degree. If you’re looking to become an apprentice/director/embalmer you can probably contact the University of Texas to go about getting an apprentice license and then interview at funeral homes. Then potentially going on to get a degree. Best of luck! 🙂

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

Hi All, I’m thinking about getting certified in change management but not sure if I should go the Prosci route or CCMP route. CCMP is a lot cheaper compared to Prosci but would it measure up just the same?
