Under capitalism, a lot of the time, highly dangerous jobs are also highly paid. Kind of a balance that the individual decides to engage with. Same idea behind getting an advanced degree in STEM or law. I think of my job by example, I’m a power plant operator at a large combined cycle plant. No fucking shot I’d be doing this if the pay wasn’t good. I’m around explosive and deadly hot shit all day.
I happen to find working with patients at high risk of violent behaviors to be fulfilling. That said I think if people were less worried about what immediate benefit my patients have to society (as opposed to the fact that any of those people in the community could slip in the shower and get a TBI and become a very unpleasant person in under a month and would want someone to care for them too) I would probably be allocated more resources to do my job a lot more safely.
I did that when I was young, troubled teens. Horrifically difficult gig with a disgustingly low level of pay.
