1. Snake Milker
   
   Snake milkers spend their days pushing snakes (certain types only) into a plastic container to extract or milk the snake. Snake venom (poison) can be used for many things, but the most important is its use in medical research or to produce "antivenom."
   Even though safety measures are applied, each milking process is highly dangerous. The rate of milkers who haven’t been bitten on the job is surprisingly low.

Average annual salary: $30,000

1. Construction Worker
   

Even though safety equipment is used, this job still makes you deal with lethal tools and requires you to carry heavy materials and work at jaw-dropping heights. Another danger comes from steel beams or walls collapsing on workers.

Average annual salary: $31,000 to $70,000

1. Courier
   

Surprisingly, being a courier is considered to be highly dangerous in many countries around the world. Just imagine delivering pizza to a party of drunk people or a parcel to a person who happened to be in a terrible mood with a hot temper. Couriers are often robbed, mugged, or the victims of other crimes.

Average annual salary: $27,000 to $35,000

1. Bull Rider
   
   This job became popular in the late ’90s when the promise of big cash for an 8-second ride spread around. In reality, the payout may not be worth the consequences. Some numbers show that a bull rider gets one significant injury for every 15 rides, from concussion and fractures to broken bones.

Average annual salary: $107,000

1. Crocodile Wrestler

Performance art can take you right into a crocodile’s jaw. Crocodile wrestlers risk their lives by putting their body parts between crocodile’s jaws, playing with their tails, and doing all sorts of crazy things. Remember that the crocodile doesn’t just lie there but actively moves and reacts, sometimes taking it too far.

Average annual salary: Not known, but approximately $8/hr
