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.

    Why are some people veterinarians? Specialized and low paying for the amount of education needed and debt incurred.

    Why are some people firefighters? Dangerous and not particularly high paying.
