candystripper -> Would You Risk Disfigurement for Work? (11/12/2008 7:24:56 PM)

Not all jobs which are dangerous are also well-paid. Back in college I worked in a sandwich shop. My shift was closing time, so I had to break down the slicer every night and clean it as part of my duties.
My one girlfriend here was sweeping floors in a steel mill, with molten steel dripping down on her. She made $16 an hour.
I know I look back on that particluar place of employment with horror. I don't know too many butchers with all their parts.
One of my girlfriends here is an R.N., and is constantly getting battered by patients with dementia, etc. While nurses make a living wage, it is extremely hard work.
Would you -- do you -- risk disfigurement or injury at work?
