Nev / Canada 
Would you like to have a dangerous job?
Hi. My name is Nev 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.
