Well it beats starving or having to choose between buying pads and starving, or buying what little food I can after I pay rent. there's two constants in life death and taxes, some people go into the industry of cleaning up death, because it interests them, others do it because its one of the few career paths that offers a decent livable pay with a ged and or willing to over look most felonies excluding violent ones. if your lucky you get a peaceful death surrounded by people you love, but even if you have people you love, you can still die and not be discovered for a month; at the end of the day its a necessary service, a landlord can't make rent payments if the unit is unable to be rented out, or a house, a motel owner cant make money on a blood splattered room, until its cleaned, etc. and at the end of the day, regardless i get paid. part of why I am so desensitized is because my moms illness required me to be non squeamish when it came to bodily fluids at a very young age. I am sure at you 16 you weren't elbows deep in cold hydrogen peroxide infused water because your mom's access site randomly bleed out onto her clothing. 2 parts water 1 part bleach still makes unsightly stains into clothes, only hydrogen peroxide I found works in really destroying blood. I still use hydrogen peroxide and cold water if a clean up involves fresh blood on hard surfaces with minimal gore. (also use it if I spill wine.)
