Which of these '10 most dangerous jobs in America' would you most like to do?

I've done two of these and will likely do a third (at least part time) sometime in the next decade.
Oddly enough, I think my current job has a much higher chance of leading to an early death.
I am somewhat surprised at the actual fatality rates: I knew that commercial fisherman had the most dangerous common occupation; I didn't realize that it was 1 in a thousand.

I'm already an airplane pilot but I don't do that as a job. I'm working on my commercial license though.

I've fantasized about the agrarian lifestyle. Waking up before dawn to milk the cows and feed the chickens. Driving around on a tractor. Smoking a corncob pipe. Wearing a straw hat, red gingham shirt, bib overalls, and gum boots. A fat wife baking pies in the kitchen. Yup, I'd be a Electric Power Installer.

The only one of those I can even slightly see myself doing is a taxi driver. And even that as a job for me would be crazy.

Pilot of course.
Crab fishing in Alaska is cool too. Very dangerous and $60,000 in 3 months!

I was raised on a farm. Nobody I know was ever killed on the job, although one guy was hit by lightening during a horse show.

YUCK!!! Do I HAVE to?????

I want to be Zang's fat pie baking wife!

My grandpa was a commercial fisherman in Alaska. We got to go with him sometimes. It was fun and we ate good!

I'll send you some of the crab, okay?!

yum!

I know, it's the food of the gods!

people who talk to themselves are crazy!

Although the challenge would be great(and I like a good challenge) none of these interest me at all.

gosh! *blushes*

Either a taxicab driver or a farmer.

I watched a show about the top ten most dangerous jobs.. and the #1 was specifically Alaskan Crab Fisherman.

relax...I love pie! That's all!

Damn! There goes my visions of exploding bags of flour on a well scrubbed sturdy kitchen table while the animal passions...never mind...

flour? fat chicks?and sex?
*falls down*

Pilot or an interstate truck driver.

That reminds me of a bad joke:

Q: How do you have sex with a fat chick?
A: Roll her in flour and look for the wet spot.

I was a construction worker for 2 days, then realized I didn't want to surround myself with such disgusting people...which brings us to the 'Are you stuck up?' survey...

I admire those men/women that can and do these jobs. I personally could not do any of these jobs.

really????...you're quick!

cuz...that's what I was referring to...


hehehehehehehehehe

Truck driver would be fun!

If it's so damn safe to fly, hows come airline pilot is number three on the list?

Airline pilots (as in the big jets) don't do too badly. Crop dusters and banner and glider towers skew the numbers a bit.

Also, the risk of death isn't necessarily the best measure of safety. Air travel (and other forms of aircraft use, such as crop dusters) have a low accident rate, but if an accident does happen then it's very likely to be fatal. farm workers, on the other hand, have a much higher overall accident rate, but they tend not to be fatal. You're much more likely to be seriously injured on a farm than in an aircraft, but the type of accidents that happen on farms are usually survivable, whereas those that happen in planes usually aren't.

You're right for air travel (as in airliner) but not for crop dusters. They crash a lot and they survive a lot. The planes are basically an engine, hopper, roll cage and wings: they're designed to be crashed.

How about "None of the above"? I don't want to do any ot them.

i used to be an electrician (construction worker).

with some of the weirdos here taxicab driving is definately the most dangerous
