Truck Driving for me. It’ll feel cool for probably a half-hour for me, to be driving something big. Until my worry of having to meet things in timely manners start kicking in and my anxiety to make sure information going all directions are right enough for easy deliveries.

Not to mention, how stupid easy it probably is for a eighteen wheeler truck to topple over in bad weather.

    I used to work at a payroll company and our highest workers’ comp rates were:

    Underwater welders

    Seawall builders

    Race car drivers

    In that order.

        Underwater welders, electrocution. You can imagine, all the risks of diving plus welding, plus combining electricity and water.

        Seawall builders, the whole process is dangerous because of the water, they can drown or be hit by heavy construction materials.

        I just always found it interesting that those were more risky than race car driving. Our highest individual claim actually was a landscaper hit by lightning, who died, but sadly, he did not die quickly, suffered in hospital for some days.

          I don’t support your reasoning. From what I know about deco diving is a lot of them have brain issues as they get older due to the extreme pressures. I don’t think it’s because of drowning
