Bangalore: You must have thought that non-techjobs like fire fighters, roofers, airplane pilots, bomb squads are the only dangerous professions. But, some jobs in Technology sector are also, very hazardous.  Yeah, at least few of the Tech workforces are not those people who pick the bags and go to office spent hours fighting with keyboard.



Elsa Wenzel of PCWorld, listed the most harmful and dangerous jobs in technology. Check out the deadliest job list in Information technology. These jobs are either a psychological risk or a risk to very life as some are toughest, some can be deadly or stressful or exposed to dangerous situations.



5. Internet Content Moderation



Do you know what kind of job Internet content moderators do?  Filtering the stuffs which can be a nightmare like violence or some other most disgusting things which most of the people do not like to see is the type of work they do. Filtering out that kind of materials by practice of monitoring submissions and applying set of rules will help not to pop up on a social network or photo-sharing site. This filtering will decide what can be accepted in a website and what cannot be. While monitoring these contents every day from 9 to 5 will be a psychological risk as some are go personal into the content like child abuse, hate crimes and so on. But the demand for these professionals is much increased as the web based services enable users to share pictures instantaneously from anywhere at any time.
