You are?

If you don't make "Mission"(IA-IIIA)(monthly and quarterly) your really, really pressured with the lose of your career(bad evaluations). For mid career NCO's and Officers this can be the end of the line if you fail. The hours are really long, including weekends. If your making mission its almost a great job. My hat is off to any Regular Army or Marine recruiter trying to make mission during this times. It must be even harder.[X(]

Being a government employee is tough, too. Managerial incompetence always gets passed down to the employees, and it is a killer for morale and productivity.

My job as a tax auditor DOES have its own rewards, especially when I can help out someone who is not well off and can't afford a paid tax preparer.

Contrary to popular belief, the bureaucracy is populated by real people. At the actual working level, we do the best we can given the multitude of restrictions we are put under.

The managers and lawmakers really DON'T have a clue, and what's worse, they could care less as long as they look good in the media.

And here is a list of the most dangerous jobs in America. I make it on the bottom of the list as a Truck Driver.




The 10 most dangerous jobs in America

The workplace death rate continued to fall in 2002, but some jobs remain staggeringly risky.

By Kim Khan

Loggers and fishermen faced the most daunting odds of dying at work in 2002, but the highways remained the most dangerous place for American workers.

On-the-job accidents and homicides claimed the lives of 5,524 Americans last year, down 6.6% from 2001. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says the workplace death rate is the lowest it has seen since recordkeeping began in 1992.

Of that 5,524, only 104 were timber-cutters, but those fatalities represent a death rate nearly 30 times that of a typical workplace. Loggers died at a rate of 117.8 per 100,000 workers, the BLS said, with most of them killed by falling trees. The death rate for American workplaces as a whole was 4 per 100,000. (That's among occupations with more than 30 fatalities in 2002 and more than 45,000 employed.)

Fishing was the second most dangerous occupation, with 71.1 deaths for every 100,000 workers, followed by pilots and navigators, 69.8, structural metal workers, 58.2, and, perhaps surprisingly, drivers-sales workers, which include pizza delivery drivers at 37.9.

Roofing is another dangerous job, with 37 deaths for every 100,000 workers. Electric power installers, farm occupation, construction laborer and truck drivers also made the top 10.

I think they should have put at the top of the list Military Service.

[JudgeDredd]

I'm not sure they want to advertise the the danger of working in the Military when they are still actively and desparately recruiting.

It was probably up there, but asked to be removed!

[SemperAugustus]

Military isn't that dangerous in the US, there are many more job categories that have higher levels of injuries due to violence. I think they still have more injuries due to traffic accidents.

I think the most dangerous job in at least the UK was divers working on North Sea oil rigs.

Spoken like a true liberal.

A complete misinformed statement combined with a half azz conspiracy theory about censorship [>:]
