I have several friends who are fire fighters and I don't think most of them retire without carrying some pretty serious baggage from their work.

Oh, PLEASE!

10 most dangerous jobs in America;

1. Timber cutters
2. Airplane pilots
3. Construction laborers
4. Truck drivers
5. Farm occupations
6. Groundskeepers
7. Laborers
8. Police and detectives
9. Carpenters
10. Sales occupations

It is more dangerous to be a salesperson that a firefighter. Nothing against firefighters, but they have a sweet deal. They typically work three days a week, pull in 6 figures and retire with 90% salary plus benefits for life. And they can qualify for this job without a college degree. Not trying to sound harsh, but if you need to have an Oprah-moment for somebody, pick from the list above. Every one listed is more dangerous and they work harder, longer and usually for much less pay.
