In the US, it's working on or building cell phone towers.

What is it in Canada, UK, South Africa, Aus, and NZ?

Fishing. Pretty much the world over it's the most dangerous profession.

Looks like it is in the US as well:

Whoring, I guess.
Logging was pretty dangerous too but there ain't so much of that in Canada anymore, so the casualties are down...yeah, I'd have to go, per capita, king crab fishing as the most dangerous. Pretty icy chop up there, I hear, so if you f*** up, you die.

POTUS is as dangerous as it gets, though the sample size is too small to say for certain.

I would say English teacher since the OP is always so quick to mix it up with people.
