The OP's list seems to be almost exclusively "worst" and not "most dangerous".
Many years ago when I first entered the professional world it was an acepted axiom that Dentist was one of the worst jobs in America as they had the highest suicide rate of any professional. Apparently they are very susceptible to complexes as "everyone hates the dentist".
My profession of Architect is recognized as a very high stress job as we are constantly having to make back flips through flaming hoops to meet impossible deadlines and is a profession with one of the highest divorce rates.
Personally, I believe grease trap cleaner is one of the worst jobs anywhere. As a part of a hospital renovation I once had to climb into a huge underground grease trap.....never, never again!

Well, a Dentist has to look in peoples mouths all day long. God that must get ugly after a while. Might even be worse than looking in peoples a55es all day long.

I suppose there could be another list of jobs that drive one to insanity.
I would suggest Hollywood stars. Sure are a lot of nutty actors.

How about dictators? You think it's easy to manage and repress all living souls within your land? And what about the ever present threat of assassination? Lose a lot of sleep over that. Just ask Hitler or Stalin ( or anyone of them, really)
