The 5 Worst Jobs of 2006

U.S. Military Soldiers in Iraq

First, what do U.S. military soldiers get paid? Less than $2000 per month, with beginning ranks making just over $1000. That’s little reward for working in the most dangerous job sector we have. With news reports stating that very little body armor or basic vehicle protection is available to our troops, many soldiers are forced to pay for their own armor. Many, at least 15,000 have been wounded and over 2000 have died. Bottom line, easily the worst job.
