They actually have an "asshole puller" position at the chicken plant. Saw it on a womans resume one time. wow.

Most dangerous, hard to say because that depends on the current state of things. I mean policemen in a riot, firefighters in one of those 2000 acre fires, a soilder during wartime, and underwater welder in a strong current.

Toughest job?--- Stay at home moms with 2+ kids. uuggg

I got a good one for you guys...

What job in America is considered the most dangerous???

Dangerous=more people die in this field than any other.

Actually, I think that would be truckdrivers. Those OTR drivers are allowed by law to drive something like 70 hours a week, not counting time fueling up, loading & unloading, maintenance, etc. And on top of that, they are paid by the mile and are pressured by their bosses to work even longer hours. Lots of 'em fall asleep at the wheel, take pills to stay alert, whatever.
After months of working 70+ hour workweeks, I'd fall asleep at the wheel, too.

The worst job I've ever had was killing dogs for the city animal shelter . . . a few cc's of sodium pentabarbitol would do the trick. Sometimes a dog would know what was coming and put up a fight. One time a chow mix started freaking out after we got him up on the "PTS" (Put To Sleep) table and started snapping at me and my partner. I dunno what came over me, but I grabbed the dog, slammed 'em to the floor, put held him down with one hand to the neck and the other to his hip, and while the dog snarled, my partner did the injection.
And messy, too. All sorts of blood and dog vomit and feces and big fat grey ticks crawling around. Nastiest job in the world. Maybe not as dangerous as working in a war zone, but for sure, a lot nastier.

kevlar is the word your lookin for.. yea that job sucks, not bc of the condition, bc ppl dont respect it on a job app when u get home, no one cares about it 3days after its over... thats why it sucks..

roughneck or floorhand on any rig is the ****ing ****s bro.... in the middle of ****ing nowhere work in minus 70, whiteouts, and slaving for 12hrs a day all equals the ****s.. not too mention most hitchs are 6 weeks of 12 hr days... sound fun?

I know its kevlar, I thought about puttin it in, but I forgot. Yeah it does suck when ppl forget. I have an "Army of One" sticker in the back window of my car and ppl see it when Im loading groceries and my haircut and they ask and thank me for serving. Or when Im in uniform at a restaruant ppl thank me all the time. It makes it worth while that the common people still stand behind you. And I see those yellow ribbon stickers on the backs of tons of cars, thats awsome too.
