Death as an Occupation/Career do you agree?

Too literal
Death doesn't actually mean death. It is used as a symbol for the actual meaning of the card, which is change! The job would likely have to do with bringing change, and most likely part of the whole cycle of how things work.

Someone mentioned doctors and make up artists..aren't those suppose to be in the magician cathegory? or king of swords?
I mean i need to understand how these careers can have something in common with death...unless i'm killing someone while i'm putting them the make up on
Because it's transforming the person.

Death means Death. It means someone is dead. Change is part of death. Yes, it can mean other things too, but I've had it come up for physical death all the time.
In fact, I just did a reading and she got the Death card. I asked who was dying? She said, "My husbands best friend."
Laurelle
Artist who uses found objects for sculpture (like those fabulous horses from driftwood for instance.)
Medical prosthetist.
Dental, oral surgeon.
Otologist---I don't know if I spelled it right but it's the physician who helps the deaf to hear using cochlear implants.
Ophthalmologist/surgeon who restores or improves a patient's eyesight.
Specialist who does in vitro fertilization.
Death rules the genitals, colon, and bladder, so I think as well as what you've said, it can also denote an OBGYN, urologist, plastic surgeon, medical researcher (especially in regard to cancer), cancer doctor, mid-wife, and any other doctor who does work with the colon, bladder, genitals.
I've gotten Strength for a dentist/orthodontist before too. But I can see how it would apply here as well.

This is a great question. I enjoy the Death card and conversations about it all the time.
I think of Proteus when I think of death. Film to me is protean and liquid. It transforms life into a shadow and emotion into something literal that we can dissect.
I also think of alchemy and the idea that purification represents a middle stage in the alchemist's transformative journey.
So, what do I think this means career wise? You must be forever changing and you are in the middle stage of a transaction. I like the pot smoker's assessment of money changing hands, but would rather say something to do with emotion/or subconscious involved as there is water involved with death. I would like to say that death is a musician, but what is more likely just a kind of freelancer -possibly even something as simple as a deck hand or seasonally hired fisherman.
