Xerloq,

I agree, the President’s job is, by nature, one that puts him and his family in immediate danger. Just like the other jobs mentioned in this article, the President is fully aware of the dangers he may face when he takes office.

In this article I tried to focus on jobs that the average American can work, but by no means is this a comprehensive list.

I the the President of the United States is the most hazardous job. Nearly 10% (4 out of 43) of presidents were *murdered* on the job. 13 others were ‘nearly’ assassinated. Granted, your average Joe won’t become the President, but 10% is higher than 0.3%.

My $0.02.

Plonkee, you’re absolutely correct. Thanks for pointing that out. I’m sure many people here in the US do similar things as well. It’s not every day you can go out and ride around in a tank or other military vehicle.

There are also other non-military jobs that provied an adrenaline rush. I’m sure the stunt pilot performed not only because he loved to fly, but also because of the rush he got performing loops, high speed passes, and other acrobatic manouevers.
