Last time I told you about 10 of the least stressful jobs in the United States. How about the five scariest jobs? You probably won’t be surprised that a miner has the second scariest job, especially after what happened in Chile earlier this year. Other jobs, like a bomb squad technician and field epidemiologist, aren’t that surprising either, but have you ever thought about broadcast tower technicians? They have to climb the towers, the tallest of which (in the US) is 2,063 feet, and they have to have enough strength to climb to the top of the tower. There aren’t many safety mechanisms for them, either, so their place at number 3 isn’t so surprising after all. How about you? Do you want a scary or a safe job? (by Prof. Carmella Lieske)
