Jobs I'd Never Want: Volcanologist / myLot

I have seen enough volcano disaster flicks to put me off ever wanting to be a volcanologist, not that it was a job I ever really thought I'd be suited for anyway. I also read about a volcanologist named David A. Johnston who was killed in the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens. While studying volcanoes would be fascinating,the dangers are just too immense.

Definitely not a job I would want if I had to visit active volcanoes. The field itself might be interesting though.

It is very risky profession indeed, but working in field of nature is always interesting.

I'd really like the science behind it, nice mix of everything (physics, chemistry, biology, geology). Not sure I'd be the last one in and the first one out for eruptions, but that's a job I would have like I think.

I was thinking maybe it's not that dangerous, more people get killed doing other jobs but I must admit it's terrifying especially if volcanology is not your line
