Top 10 Most Badass Jobs
Being a Marine is the most badass job in the world. You are all over the world either destroying cities and killing bad guys or giving humanitarian aid.
Not only is it always depicted in movies, but it's also one of the hardest jobs to get.
They fight for their country's honor. We have the right to give it to them.
Only position where you can break into somebody else's house without a search warrant! Firefighters break all sorts of things, crawl through an unknown environment seeing almost nothing and feeling heat, cut up cars, and do all kinds of other things that many people think aren't possible.
We're the people everyone else looks to (yes, even other jobs on this list) when they get themselves in trouble. Even those "badass" fighter jet pilots crash their planes every once in a while, and who's there to take care of it? Firefighters!
I would love to be an astronaut. It is the world's coolest job. Being in outer space, a place that only astronauts can fly, is a rare chance. Astronauts are badasses because they are flying to "outer space." Not only badasses, but badass nerds. I wish I could be an astronaut.
Undoubtedly, an astronaut is the most badass job ever. You need to be very competent, otherwise, you will be useless in space. There is no place more hazardous than space. If you screw up, nobody will be able to save you.
I'm kind of jealous of Neil Armstrong. After he walked on the moon, when he and his friends were going out to eat and they told stories about themselves, he could just say, "I walked on the moon," and that would be it.
It would be fun being a police officer because you get to not only chase criminals but also be a detective. But of course, it is entirely dangerous.
Fight crime, protect people from evil, incredible tactical and weapons training... An unsung hero, the epitome of a badass.
Awesome job! Just be careful because cops get killed every day.
I would surely love to be a spy! But I know it's very dangerous. And I'm not scared of anything, even though I'm a little girl! I don't know what badass jobs means, but being a spy is surely my favorite!
You get to sneak around and go James Bond on people. Cool gadgets and badass cars.
I think that being a spy is THE BEST job you can have. It's awesome!
Absolutely the most badass job. I mean, think of all those kids whose lives you're touching.
Cruising around and delivering smiles to children's faces is what REAL men do!
It takes a real man to do a real job that is needed.
Protecting people's most important part of their life: their liberty.
So totally! You dress like whatever you want and still sing your heart out. Travel the world and lots of other things!
Imagine singing to hundreds of people and rocking it. Wow.
If you've ever met an old-school butcher, they're guaranteed to whoop anyone on the list. So much so that everyone would be sure to keep their distance. Also, they come with the real 1,000-yard stare.
The Newcomers
They walk around going to people's houses and delivering mail, yet they walk an average of 10 miles a day, 6 days every week. That's more than what most people walk, and it just goes on.
They carry bags on their shoulders weighing 35 lbs and handle packages that weigh up to 70 lbs, which is really hard on the body. No wonder they get injured. The mail trucks have no real air conditioning, so they open the windows and walk around even more in the summer just to regulate their body temperature.
They work in all kinds of weather, from hot sunny days to windy, stormy, or snowy days. There have even been deaths from weather conditions, including heatstroke.
It's a tough job and not for the faint of heart.
Instant death in your hands all day, every day. One day you're working in New York on Hurricane Sandy, and two days later you're hanging under a chopper longline in California.
Yeah, it pays more than your job, but don't worry - you couldn't handle it.
Sshh, it's been a secret for decades! Even though it's the most important, most used, most dangerous, and highest-paid job in the world. Without power, we are cavemen.
Spending all day 100+ feet in the air, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of volts of electricity. In the heat, rain, snow, or wind - it doesn't matter. Linelife.
Deserves its title. You work countless hours to keep drawing so that when filmed, they appear to move, and it only gets harder with deadlines and stuff. Not to mention the RSIs we don't often hear about.
If you can brand cattle, repair fences, and then wake up in the middle of the night again to help a sheep give birth, then you're a tough man.
Wild, wild, west job. Nothing gets adrenaline pumping faster than leading a horse with hands, legs, and voice while attempting to herd another animal. Total BADASS job.
So badass... beating up that dough.
Like drumming, it's a musical job that involves lots of repetitive movement, which can cause injuries. It's important to be healthy when doing this. But at the same time, you're entertaining the audience. Badass alright.
Nothing compares to the feeling you get when you surprise your friends with an amazing guitar solo.
Playing those face-melters like it's nothing.
Definitely the most badass of them all - to be able to put yourself in the mind of a criminal and not become one? That takes some serious skill, not to mention a huge time commitment (and a badge and gun to top it off).
Get to shoot guns all day. What more do you want from life?
UFC guys kick ass. I did the training, and it was legit.
Like firefighters, they do nothing but try to help people all day.
A government assassin? Badass times three.
Oh my gosh, I want this job. I want it bad.
You're a ghost! In. Out. You don't exist. 10/10.
Teaching the future leaders the information to carry the world to greatness. Also, putting up with misbehaving kids and pointing them in the right direction. Like another mother or father, if you get the right ones.
If there were no teachers, nobody would be thinking about what they would want to be when they grow up. Teachers are underappreciated and underpaid. Give them more credit!
Teaching is the profession of prophets. It is a highly respectable job. I like it.
Drumming of any kind involves fast, repetitive motion with the hands that can cause repetitive injuries, which are common. Performers exert so much energy and sweat and can end up being dehydrated. It takes planning, practice, and preparation. It's pretty tough anyway.
Heck yeah, Neil Armstrong was a fighter pilot in Korea before he walked on the moon. And those Brits who flew Spitfires and won the Battle of Britain were total badasses!
I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay! I sleep all night and I work all day!
