    Is Your Job One of the Top 10 Most Dangerous?

    Chain saw injury. Logging can be dangerous!

    Is your job on “The List”? Last month I noticed a flurry of “Ten Most Dangerous Jobs” lists floating around. From year to year when the list is reissued I notice the order changes a little but the same jobs are on the list.

    For me, the list puts life into perspective when the most dangerous thing I face in my job is a sore butt from being at my computer too long or wanting to smash my laptop when I see the blue screen of death.

    Here’s the most recent list I have seen. I wonder what kind of life insurance rates they get?

    1. Logger

    2. Pilot

    3. Fishermen

    4. Iron/Steel Worker

    5. Garbage Collector

    6. Farmer/Rancher

    7. Roofer

    8. Electrical Power Installer/Repairer

    9. Sales, Delivery, and Other Truck Driver

    10. Taxi Driver/Chauffeur
