"She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right"---She works hard for the.money by Donna Summer.
What is your job?
What is your work?
What, whom and why.are you working?
Looking up to those.who are.working on my brother's house, i asked myself, can i do their job?
Definitely no.
Not.because i don't know, cause i can learn if i want to, but because my.knees will be weak, just too high for me. And looking at them had already made it weak.
But if ever i have.no other option, have to face the fear, just to have a food on my plate and live.
Better than stealing right?
Then i look over the internet the most dangerous or deadliest jobs. And i was.surprised to.learn how risky they can.be.

There are a lot of risky jobs. Construction is one of them, especially working with skyscrapers. In some videos I've seen they have harnesses on just in case they should fall, they won't go far. I had a calm safe job, though it was very stressful in a call center. Getting yelled at all day every day can take a toll on you. I'm happy to say I'm away from there and working from my computer chair now retired from the work force.

I am a professional accountant and desk bound.
But the responsibility was quite high as I was held accountable for the finance, accounting, audit, banking functions.
Though physically not dangerous but quite draining.
I have not done heavy physical work that is also dangerous.
I recall Warren Buffet's words when asked whether he would have succeeded in any other profession too
" I don't have a strong shoulder to do heavy lifting work".
I too would have struggled.
Also I am afraid of heights.
I admire and salute those who do such dangerous work - siva

Without them, where you live. But their pay is just enough to survive. Any time they can hurt and fall, laying the block of brick and finishing plastering need skill workers. They stop and have no income even they are sick.
Only they make the contractor rich but not them.
Do treat them well.

Hmmmm I think the job of a food tester for a President is also risky, right? But I want to test and taste foods. Lol

Everyone has to work. Even those people with disability has to work in order to survive. We can live if we know how to handle money. Funny how some who earns little can be contented with what they have than those who are earning more. It depends on how you live with what you earned.
