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
It's often overlooked, as many view models as people walking around, looking good, and posing. Yet, all models are different. Real models push their bodies beyond limits and are pressured by crews to look their best for photoshoots and fashion shows.
Not to mention the extreme training they go through for months just to spend those seconds on runways. Depending on the types of shows, the exercise is not your average workout - it can be more like hours of Olympic training. Models' sleep schedules are completely messed up due to deadlines for performances, and the job can turn you into a complete wreck. They even have to change their diets and, on the day of shows, fast from food and drinks for many hours in advance.
Despite this, they travel from place to place on tight schedules. Many models look good on the outside, but on the inside, they suffer extreme torture. They even wear high heels, which makes walking harder and can lead to foot pain and injuries. They develop long-term health problems as a result of all the stress they go through.
Models endure all that to impress their audiences and the world. It's often misunderstood by many, but it's said to be one of the toughest and most demanding jobs on Earth. Many are paid loads of money for it.
You work outside for quite some time, even on a hot day, wearing thick clothing, which just makes it hotter and more dehydrating.
Yet, you get stung not only once but multiple times, even to the point of risking cardiac arrest or an allergic reaction someday.
You're doing all this work for the bees, and it pays off to take care of them.
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.
Get to shoot guns all day. What more do you want from life?
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).
UFC guys kick ass. I did the training, and it was legit.
Like firefighters, they do nothing but try to help people all day.
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.
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.
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!
