Checking out some of the jobs on the list, yep, there's some I wouldn't want. While I liked watching Quincy M.E. on television, I never wanted to actually peer inside somebody. And down there at number 10? No thanks, I've seen them guys up on the radio towers. Just looking at them just about makes me faint. And then there's number 7. Heck, I can even pronounce that!

So here are the 10 scariest jobs in America:

1. Arachnologist: A person who studies spiders.
2. Coroner: Obviously it involves touching and cutting open dead bodies.
3. Diver: You spend your time deep in the ocean, totally alone.
4. Forensic Scientist Technician: You analyze blood and body parts at crime scenes.
5. Hazardous Materials Technician: It involves handling nuclear and medical waste . . . and cleaning up houses with hoarders.
6. Herpetologist: A person who studies snakes and other reptiles.
7. Elasmobranchologists: They study sharks.
8. Medical Laboratory Technologist: They handle blood all day, every day.
9. Miner: Obviously it involves a lot of time alone in dark, small, dangerous spaces.
10. Transmission Tower Worker: Not good for anyone with a fear of heights.
