These are the scariest jobs in the world from having to defuse explosives guard dangerous
prisoners experience unforgiving waters and sometimes even go inside volcanoes welcome back
Charlie here you're about to see the world's most terrifying jobs and find out how much
they pay first we have to look at the job of a bomb diffuser bond diffusers are essential in
war it's not just dangerous it's also one of the most stressful jobs you could ever imagine if you
mess up then you and everyone around you will be blown up not to mention they're normally in very
dangerous places like war zones sometimes they have to defuse bombs and sometimes they need to
detonate suspicious packages sometimes defusals go wrong and the bomb explodes you may think the
bomb defusal suit means that any diffusers would live but that is not true bomb defutile suits are
meant to protect from shrapnel but they don't protect from the explosion or blast wave itself
just the blast wave can cause blast lung and other potentially fatal internal injuries
bomb defusal suits can't even stop most bullets and in some countries bomb defusers don't even
wear these suits each suit costs around twenty thousand dollars so in poor countries they don't
have enough to go around but how much do you make if you're willing to put your life on the line
and defuse bombs well surprisingly not that much bomb defusers make around 56 000 per year which is
actually under the average u.s salary what these people do is heroic but for that amount of money
is it really worth the risk another very scary job is being a prison guard imagine having to manage
some of the most dangerous and scary people in the world prisons are normally very understaffed for
every 100 inmates there's only around 10 guards this means they are way outnumbered they have to
deal with prisoners sometimes attacking them and sometimes prison escapes sometimes prison guards
even have to track down prisoners who have escaped in 2013 53 prison guards passed away on the job
this was normally from inmates who turned violent prison guards make around 50 000 per year some
prison guards say that being at work is like being in jail themselves they're just like the inmates
except they leave at the end of the day but while they're in there they still experience prison like
many of the inmates prison can be very depressing even as a prison guard you're stuck inside a dark
metal and concrete building all day you also have to work with some of the worst people in the world
dealing with people who may be serving life sentences for unspeakable crimes another scary
job many people overlook is being a wind turbine technician in 2012 63 technicians passed away
it's easy to fall off these wind turbines and sometimes these wind turbines catch fire in 2013
this windmill fire trapped two technicians one of the workers tried to escape through
the fire another waited as long as possible for a helicopter rescue but it wasn't possible because
of the smoke eventually he jumped meaning that both passed away these wind turbine fires are
surprisingly common wind turbine technicians make an average of 56 thousand dollars per year which
is surprisingly low considering the risk moving on let's look at the job of an oil rigger an oil
rig is one of the most dangerous places to work for one you're in the middle of the ocean where
waters can be very unpredictable if you get caught in a storm then your entire oil rig may shake
and gigantic waves sometimes push people into the sea oil riggers work 16-hour shifts with
very little sleep in america alone every year 150 people pass away on oil rigs this
is normally due to fires and explosions the average salary of an oil rig worker is 50 000
per year another scary job is being a bodyguard you need to be very well trained at self-defense
and in some cases offensive and defensive driving celebrity bodyguards have to deal with crazy fans
and bodyguards for politicians have to deal with assassination attempts when you sign up to be a
bodyguard you agree to give up your safety for your boss you might literally have to take a
bullet while on the job unlike in other jobs if you make a mistake then lives are on the line
bodyguards make around 65 000 per year guarding humans is scary but an even scarier job is
guarding money that's exactly what security truck drivers have to do every single day these security
trucks are a massive target for criminals in some countries armoured vehicle drivers are armed
this is because robberies of these trucks are so common a single one of these vehicles can carry
600 million dollars they normally don't carry that much the average amount these armored trucks carry
is 2 to 4 million dollars but that's still a lot and you can see why so many of these get robbed
every year the drivers wear bulletproof vests and helmets but sadly that's sometimes not enough to
save their lives armored truck drivers make around 90 000 per year now let's look up at another very
scary job i'm talking about skyscraper window cleaners ever wondered how those massive buildings
stay so shiny well there's actually people cleaning these individual windows sometimes
these window cleaning platforms break this can cause them to swing around very high up in the
sky until they're rescued and sometimes window cleaners simply fall from buildings
in 2017 a window cleaner from new york fell 10 stories but miraculously he survived however most
other window cleaners who fall are not so lucky skyscraper window cleaners make around 35 000
per year another terrifying job is being a volcano researcher these volcanologists sometimes pass
away due to lava bubbles popping sometimes they need to go to the site of erupting volcanoes take
a look at this very haunting image taken in 1980 it shows a volcanologist named david a johnston
just hours after this was taken his life would end this was thanks to the volcanic eruption of
mount saint helens years later one of david's friends named harry glicken met the same fate
he was researching mount anzen in japan but that's when he lost his life to a massive volcano cloud
volcanologists earn around one hundred thousand dollars per year finally let's look at the job
of a ship captain it's safe to say the ocean is one of the scariest places on the planet ship
captains have to make sure their ship does not cap size even in the worst of storms they are the last
line of defense even when ships are literally breaking apart due to very tough waters there
are many things that can go wrong on ships there can be crashes anchor drop failures and massive
unexpected storms ship captains make around 90 000 per year some would say being a youtuber is
an even more dangerous job i could have strained my voice when making this video or injured my
finger when clicking my mouse but now it's time to make your voice heard comment down below which
of these jobs you would do and how much you'd have to be paid to do them if you want to see
