Jobs in America

  While looking through the news on AOL I came across this article and found it interesting.  It discusses the fifteen scariest jobs in the United States.  Not only did it describe the job, gave the education needed for the job, but it also gave the average salary of each job.  The salary is what made me think the most.  In this economy, not only do people sacrific their lives for our well-being (armed forces, police officer, firefighter -- some of the jobs listed) but they get paid bare minimum in order to sustain a family.  Relating this to the education we have discussed in class is that I believe this article proves regardless of if someone obtains a degree or not; there may be a very minimum amount of pay allowing them to survive on.  It is a growing issue within our economy and I find that it needs to be addressed.
