I expect to try to figure out how to isolate any parts of my body. I mean, I've seen Shakira. That's enough prep, right?
Yesterday, my life's like, 'Uh-oh, pop quiz!' Today it's like, 'rain of toads.'

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Clearly the solution is to learn bellydancing before the classes start.
How else do people work?

Not like that!

Well, I judge people.
I'm also confused by Forbes.
They have an article on 10 surprisingly unusual & high paid jobs which summarises thusly:
- Embalmer Average pay: $43,680 a year
- Hot Dog Vendor Average pay: $30,000 to $100,000 a year
- Personal Shopper Average pay: $25,000 to $100,000+ a year
- Funeral Service Manager Average pay: $79,930 a year
- Ice Cream Taster (Food Scientist) Average pay: $56,000 a year
- Virtual Head Hunter Average pay: $250 to $10,000 per referral
- Genetic Counselor Average pay: $55,820 a year
- Live Mannequin / Human Statue Average pay: Up to $100 an hour
- Body Part Model Average pay: $20 to $1,000+ for an afternoon
- Cruise Ship Entertainer Average pay: $3,000 to $4,500 a month, plus room and board
And then they have an article on surprisingly low paying jobs with the following paragraph:
Embalmers, firefighters and private investigators also earn less than $50,000 a year, on average. You might expect to make more for a job that requires sanitizing and preserving the deceased—but apparently preparing bodies for interment will only earn you $45,060, and the bottom 10% make a measly $27,010.
Do they have their adjectives correctly lined up to make sense?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Other than embalmers being on both lists?

That first list is just unusual, no? With possibly but unlikely high pay for some.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I could totally be an ice cream taster.
Career change!

Because books.
Embalmer's pay isn't great, but I bet it's a really low-stress job if you're cut out for it. When I was in upstate NY, I ran into a lot of people who were going to a college up there for funeral directors.

If "less than 50,000" is the threshhold for surprisingly low-paying, then most of the surprisingly high-paying list...isn't.
