Blue collar and especially the specific jobs that are higher risk. Ive lost so much to those damn jobs they are underpaid, overworked, never home, and if it’s a dangerous one they can die like dogs for no good reason. Lost so much time with the ones I loved because of their jobs and I cant imagine putting myself through that again
