10 Most Dangerous Jobs in the United States

Wait a minute, how is radio disc jockey not on the list?

I asked Intern Jeff what he thought the most dangerous job was in the U.S. and he said , "a garbage man." I asked why and he said,"because there could be dangerous stuff in the garbage, and it could poke them, ya know, dangerous elements."

Ok Jeff...

I asked Imaging Mike what he though the most dangerous job in the U.S. is. He said, "I watched a lot of horror movies recently so I would say a babysitter. I heard they eat people in packs."

Ugh, Mike... I don't think that's it either.
