Where do I sign up for this job?

Ok, if you haven't seen the show Deadliest Catch yet on Discovery, I recommend it.

It's basically a salute to the guys that have one of the 10 most dangerous jobs.

Here's the list of Most Dangerous Jobs from 2005

Rank Occupation Death rate/100,000 Total deaths
1 Logging workers
92.4
85
2 Aircraft pilots
92.4
109
3 Fishers and fishing workers
86.4
38
4 Structural iron and steel workers
47.0
31
5 Refuse and recyclable material collectors
43.2
35
6 Farmers and ranchers
37.5
307
7 Roofers
34.9
94
8 Electrical power line installers/repairers
30.0
36
9 Driver/sales workers and truck drivers
27.6
905
10 Taxi drivers and chauffeurs
24.2
67

Now, if you haven't already guessed, the most dangerous part of my job is my 140 mile commute each day or occasionally choking on some Pad Thai but neither of those are my actual job and don't really count.
So I guess paper cut might be the most dangerous part of my actual job.

Did you notice #8 on the list.

Check out this Video and tell me you wouldn't like to buy this guy a beer and say

"Thanks for letting me play Guitar Hero 24/7"
