Most Dangerous Jobs In The World

If you are looking for a more adventurous job and you are considering one from the list below, you should think twice. They might sound romantic, exciting, and well paid, but "dangerous" describes them best.
We made a list of the most dangerous jobs in the world. Which one do you think sounds the most frightening?

10. Snake Milker

Snake milkers spend their days pushing snakes (certain types only) into a plastic container to extract or milk the snake. Snake venom (poison) can be used for many things, but the most important is its use in medical research or to produce "antivenom."
Even though safety measures are applied, each milking process is highly dangerous. The rate of milkers who haven’t been bitten on the job is surprisingly low.
Average annual salary: $30,000

9. Courier

Surprisingly, being a courier is considered to be highly dangerous in many countries around the world. Just imagine delivering pizza to a party of drunk people or a parcel to a person who happened to be in a terrible mood with a hot temper. Couriers are often robbed, mugged, or the victims of other crimes.
Average annual salary: $27,000 to $35,000

8. Bull Rider

This job became popular in the late ’90s when the promise of big cash for an 8-second ride spread around. In reality, the payout may not be worth the consequences. Some numbers show that a bull rider gets one significant injury for every 15 rides, from concussion and fractures to broken bones.
Average annual salary: $107,000

7. Mountain Guide

Conquering a high mountain peak was a dream for enough people to justify creating a new job field: mountain guides. Their job is not only to guide the way but to carry heavy equipment or provisions, be the first to try out a dangerous path, and be responsible for the safety of others.
Average annual salary: $70,000

6. Microchip Manufacturer

We all enjoy having our laptops and phones, but they come at a high cost for those who produce them. A number of hazardous chemicals like arsenic are used to produce computer chips. While microchips do not bring an immediate fatal outcome, the long-term effects include miscarriage, birth defects, respiratory diseases, and cancer.
Average annual salary: $61,000

5. War Correspondent

Getting the truth out to the world is as important as being a doctor, but it comes with a higher risk. The danger list contains kidnapping, torture, and death. When you are in the middle of the action, you are not marked as a journalist but as an enemy.
Average annual salary: $36,000

4. Oil Rigger

Being an offshore oil rigger means working with one of the most combustible substances in the world. Sometimes offshore riggers work 16 hours straight or even go a day or 2 without sleep. Fire and oil explosions, drowning, and having a certain body part sucked into the machinery are on the danger list for causes of death.
Average annual salary: $70,000 to $140,000

3. Crocodile Wrestler

3. Crocodile Wrestler
Performance art can take you right into a crocodile’s jaw. Crocodile wrestlers risk their lives by putting their body parts between crocodile’s jaws, playing with their tails, and doing all sorts of crazy things. Remember that the crocodile doesn’t just lie there but actively moves and reacts, sometimes taking it too far.
Average annual salary: Not known, but approximately $8/hr

1. Fisherman

1. Fisherman
Don’t picture fishing as something peaceful and meditative. On average, fishermen have one of the most dangerous jobs due to unexpectedly bad weather conditions, defective gear, and incidents related to transportation. This field has one of the highest fatality rates.
Average annual salary: $30,000

Why Do We Always Screw Up When Someone’s Watching?

Source: OMGfacts Julian Larach Follow Writer @Dose and @OMGFacts. Here to help you procrastinate. Instagram: Julian_Larach Aug 11 Raise your hand if you’ve totally forgotten how to type when your boss is watching. Some nights I have trouble falling asleep because of the embarrassment I still feel after a horrific incident that landed me a shameful black eye. I attended a junior Olympic diving competition in Montréal as a teenager. It wasn’t until I got up on the platform that I began to panic. Everyone was watching me. The onlookers were divers from around the world who were destined to be olympians, world champs, or, I don’t know, future Instagram celebs. As many times as I had drilled the hell out of this dive during practice, somehow, I managed to drop the ball in front of the wrong crowd. Let’s just say that “belly-flop” is a sugar coated version of what happened. But basically, my muscle memory vanished. I landed flat on my stomach and was gifted with a mortifying...

The 10 Most Dangerous Waters in the World

Most people can’t imagine their vacation without some body of water nearby, be it a lake or an ocean. But there are waters on our planet that can be deadly for revelers. Bright Side  would like to tell you about several places on Earth whose beauty is only for watching from a safe distance. And for those who aren’t satisfied with these, scroll to the end of the article for a savory bonus. 10. Great Blue Hole, Belize © Seann McAuliffe/flickr    Tides turn the  Great Blue Hole  into a huge vortex that draws in everything on the surface, while ebbs make it spout huge columns of water. Despite all this, though, there still are many who want to see this hole because Jacques Cousteau himself called it one of the best places for diving on Earth. 9.
