Choosing A Difficult Career

 

Imagine sitting in an office all day staring at a computer screen. Then, imagine doing different tasks each day that will scare you half to death. The career that would scare me half to death would be much higher on my list than the one where I sit in an office all day. If I had to choose a challenging career, I would choose to be a stuntman because of the scary experiences and life taking risks.

Stuntmen are the most fearful people on Earth. For example, Tom Cruise dangled down from the top of the world’s tallest building in one of his recent movies,”Mission Impossible.” When I was watching the movie, I started to sweat because of how frightening it looked! Choosing to be a stuntman for a career would give me such an indescribable experience. It would teach me a very great amount of mental toughness through all of the different tasks I would do every day. Although learning mental toughness is great and all, learning it would be a pain in the butt because one of my biggest fears is heights. Furthermore, if I dangled down from the world’s tallest building, I would then think afterwards that nothing on Earth could ever scare me. Stuntmen have to learn how to overcome their greatest fear in order to make a living. Imagine if every day you had to face your greatest fear? Because of the fearful experiences, I think that being a stuntman would be a very challenging career.

Another reason as to why I would choose to be a stuntman is because of the life taking risks. For instance, one time it was raining and all of my friends went out to go ride their four wheelers. I decided to stay home because I prefer to be on the safe side. Therefore, I am not a risk taker in any way or from. Stuntmen on the other hand are the king of taking risks. They have to take so many life taking risks like Tom Cruise that could easily take their life. Just imagine your life being on the line every day just for a movie. It would be challenging right! Although there may be other more challenging careers out there, I think that being a stuntman would be the most challenging because of the risks taken each and every day.

Overall, becoming a stuntman would be much better than sitting in an office all day but yet taking the chances they do every day would make it very challenging.
