I can't find any of them now, of course, but I've seen videos that I assume are from China or SE Asia where a guy is working with red hot metal, taking bits of it out of an oven, and then putting them someplace else. There's a guy standing beside him whose only job seems to be to throw a bucket of water on the guy every few seconds.

I think I could manage some of those other jobs, heights, depths, etc.... I think the folks that end up in those jobs are there because they make more money than the guys that do the same work in normal situations. You get paid extra to be in extreme circumstances.
