Interesting. The field might become younger and female. The daughter of one of my favorite students (whom you may know, 'cause she's an '01 grad) is now attending mortuary school in Pittsburgh. She wants, eventually, to own her own mortuary business. She told me half the courses she'll take cover the business aspects of running a mortuary.
I imagine that the curriculum is a balance business and embalming. Frankly, most programs should have a basic business course. For all of the freelance work in the communications field, there ought to be a course at some point on 1099s, quarterlies, creating an LLC vs. sole proprietorship, etc.
When Paul Wieland joined the faculty in '98, he made it a point every year to track Bona's 1099s. Rich Lee and Anne Lee have continued that.
