Nev / Canada 
Would you like to have a dangerous job?
Hi. My name is Neve and I come from Canada. For today my question is would you like to have a dangerous job?
To be honest, this is an easy question and my answer is no. I wouldn't like to have a dangerous job. I work as a kindergarten teacher, and to be honest, I love my job. So if I were to change it, I still wouldn't consider doing anything that's dangerous to me or people around me. Why? That would be an interesting thing to explain. Maybe because I think I wouldn't be able to do such a job because I'm very sensitive and if I see someone in pain or in any kind of trouble that could potentially seriously hurt or damage him, I don't think I would be able to deal with all that on a daily basis. And job is something that you do every day so we might as well like it. That's why I'm keeping mine. What about you? Would you consider changing your job and having a dangerous one?
