I have been offered a job, to make between 30 and 45 dollars an hour..guess the job..

If it helps, you would not likely be at risk for HIV or other blood-borne diseases. HIV viruses die extremely quickly when exposed to oxygen outside the body, even when still in blood. There have even been theoretical concepts of "HIV-screening" blood by cycling it through a sanitary fountain where it would be exposed to air and then returned to the body to kill the virus.

So at worst, we're talking about bacterial infection from the same environment as meat, but not viral infections.

I doubt gangs would bother you, either. They have no retaliatory motives against the cleanup guy. And you'd be the LAST person anyone'd try to mug.

Think of the job as disgusting, but generally safe. Then figure out what to tell people you do for a living.

Or you could be a hospital ER orderly and do the same thing for $12 an hour.

People he is not going to be seeing the dead bodies... they will be off the scene by the time the clean up crew comes in. Basically, it is like cleaning up a slaughter house.

I would last 25 seconds at that job.

Most people don't last that long when they find out what the job is really like.

Frackal, for the most part you are suicide clean up. You'll pick up an occasional homicide, but your bread and butter is going to be shotgun blasts to the head... self inflicted. Unfortunately, blood and brain flies everywhere. You'll need to work on a step ladder cleaning brain off the ceiling and walls. You'll need lots of bleach and elbow grease to get blood and gunk out of the carpets. Oh, and in case you get a scene where nobody found the body for a couple weeks... bring some bug spray and a clothe's pin for your nose.

That sounds like a cool fucking job. $45 an hour is just a nice bonus.

Years ago I went on a call like that. This girl had taken a shotgun and placed it under her chin and pulled the trigger. The family called me right after they had removed her body and it was pretty bad. Blood and brain matter on the floor, ceiling, walls and there was a hole in the ceiling and roof. It was a trailer. They wanted me to clean it up. I told them they had called the wrong person. It was pretty gross!

Frackal you will always be on 24/7 call, holidays included. That's going to be rough unless you had scheduled time off coming to you but always expect to be called at any time. The pay is so good because they can call you at anytime and you have to respond regardless of where you are and how you feel. Money to be made, that's for sure.

Unless it's a major metropolitan area, you figure you'd be working maybe 2 jobs per week, each one taking about 4 hours.

don't forget, if you contract AIDS you get free gh kits, those are worth some $$$

 

[sermon_of_crockery]

Yeah dude don't bank on making $45 an hour right off the bat. Maybe they pay by the job and the fastest guys gross $45 an hour.

If it was steady work, I'd take it but the whole on-call thing sucks. I'll take my 9-5 any day.

Shit and piss, ewwwwwwwww

Of course Frack, you can use it as a stepping stone. Get your face seen around and take some community college photography courses and become the crime scene photographer. They make more.
