The Presurfer has an interesting post up about the most dangerous jobs in America.
I never would have guessed that fishing was number one on that list. I might have said forestry or construction or mining. I suppose being out on the ocean, exposed to storms and such really is more dangerous than I imagined. I’m not surprised that farming is on the list. Farmers use all kinds of heavy equipment as well as a variety of chemicals and livestock farmers deal with large animals as well.
The most dangerous part of my job has to do with sitting on my butt in front of a computer for too long. Do you have a dangerous job?

I was a hobby farmer for awhile and I concur about the dangerousness of the job. I always made sure I didn’t do certain farm chores or tasks when I was alone. Just in case I needed a ride to the E.R.
I pretty much sit on my butt for a living as well, but I did work in agriculture for quite a few summers – tractors, chemicals, big disgruntled animals. But probably the most dangerous job I ever did was as a teenager, when I worked the midnight shift at a cafe by myself. Nothing bad ever happened, but I had a few scares.
