Tell you what though there are plenty of things a person might want to do
for a living. Many years back a friend of mines girlfriend worked as a,
well, not quite sure what its called, but she wore a special suit set
herself on fire with some liquid then dived into a burning pool many feet
below several times a day. One corner of the pool had a boom to stop the
fire, and she swam underwater to that point and came out, like well you
would not get me doing that.

Likewise at some places they have a human Cannon ball, usually a girl who
was fired out of a cannon to a net. Apparently she could only do this for a
certain number of times as it might affect her knees, It was powered by
compressed air and was basically a plunger you stood on, apparently.
Other jobs to not do would be sword swallowing and fire eating I'd imagine.
