Leads on becoming a diener (morgue assistant) in NYC?

Question

I'm interested in becoming a morgue assistant in order to work my way through school; i'd like to move up the ladder and become an autopsy assistant, pathology assistant, or other specializing MA, maybe even becoming a physician assistant one day.


Obviously, the best places to work would be either for the city or for a hospital, but I don't know anyone in the industry at all, and these kinds of openings seem to be very infrequently posted.  Who can I talk to to find this type of position, and where should i submit myself?


Obviously, i'm a little leery of marching up to a hospital's HR department and saying, "I would like to move your dead bodies now, kthx. :B"

I live across The street from the medical examiner office in Manhattan NY. They are located on 1st Avenue and 30th street. What I can do if you remind via email is walk over there for you and inquire about their hiring procedure. I'll check to see if they have a web site so you can visit.

I'll do it for you unconditionally in the hopes that in the future someone would help me.

email me tonight leave a message so that when I wake up in the morning I'll check my emails and then I can walk right over there.


By the way they recently open up a new building across the street too it's separate a "Forensic Lab"

I'm not really sure the qualifications to be a morgue assistance in Britain, but I believe you need some medical background and degree for it. Why be an assistant?

I actually wanted to do this type of work for years, now the education is university level. Now that i'm getting older I don't want to do this type of work.
