I wonder what "jobs that hurt or kill regardless" you have in mind


* I'm stressed from working at a game studio --> but no one will die

* I'm stressed from working on avionics or medical software, or designing bridges/etc --> someone may die if I make a mistake

* I'm stressed from working as a firefighter or police officer --> someone (or myself) may die even if I don't make any mistakes


Thanks, doesn't sound like the same thing though. The text was:

"hurt or kill regardless"

which to me sounds like "someone always die" (not "may die"),

which isn't supposed to be the case when firefighters or police are working.


Anything to do with "defense" industry


Ok, depends on how you look at it. But almost always, yes
