Well...depends what your job is as a firefighter. Like on ladder 49, you know how they had different "divisions" within the group and some jobs were more dangerous? So...the guys who went up on the roof had a more dangerous job than those who drove the truck/stayed outside with the hoses.
I think a cop's job is more "unpredictable". I know fires are dangerous and unpredictable as well, but I'm saying that a cop could go do a routine traffic stop and get shot.
So...hopefully that'll help you? |

umm those are a couple of certainly dangerous jobs where a human can harm another human. But in my opinion there are more dangerous jobs where danger lies only in the unpredictablility of nature. Like ice truckers or underwater welders or crab fishers look it up I really don't feel like going into detail, but I also don't feel liek going on with my sorry pathetic life either |

I agree with the Alaskan fishermen. I think miners have a pretty darn dangerous job too. |

The crab fishermen in Alaska it is almost a guarantee that one is not coming back,and it is the national statistic for the most dangerous job |

I don't think either is. They are more things like miners and some things with heavy objects....
I read somewhere the 5th most dangerous job was a pizza delivery person. Going to a house late at night and the door could be holding a gun and with drugs. could be a rapist. so many possibilities. |

I hear logging is a very dangerous profession. The mortality rate is pretty high, and it is HIGHLY likely that a logger will, in his first three years of work, break a bone, suffer a concussion, or lose a limb. |

I would say that being in the National Guard under the Bush administration is the most dangerous job.

I speak from experience when i say Ironworker. I am using my wife's account so don't be confused with the name. I have been a union ironworker for 13 years and have lost 3 buddies on the job, 4 others ended up with numerous broken bones usually to the face and that's just from falls. add in the lost fingers and crushed body parts and I would rank it right at the top. Cops and firefighters don't come anywhere near the top. |

1 Clinical Psychologist ( if your mind is wasted from delusional patients, then you tend to bit the dust...literally) It has been proven that this job has a high rate of suicides.
2 CIA Agent ( government business is risky and everyting's top secret - mass censory at its best!!)
3 Swat Team ( wild shoot outs and risky negotiations with hard-boiled criminals with guns and bullet proof vests always has its consequences) |
