Well, SWAT may be thrilling for the time they are out there taking someone down but it seems there would be a lot of time when you are at your desk and doing other things.

Live performers get thrills when they do a great job entertaining and get the reward of applause.

@tranquilsea thats what i was thinking,
@EddieTheHead our police force arean’t recruiting at the moment, and would you say its really thrillseeking. Pilot is a pretty good idea, but working for an airline just doesnt seem..fun?

Evel Kneivel seemed to have a pretty thrilling job, so do stunt men. You could also be a bulletproof vest salesman. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUXUCzKdkhM

@YARNLADY great idea, i did think of that but after a while it looses its, thrill? may sound stupid but i’d love something with suprises around every corner! And how hard these things are to find im confident a few of these other responses supply that haha..

@lovetehpie I think anything after a while loses its thrill.

lovetehpie's avatar

@tranquilsea maybe, but sure its great but it literally is the exact same thing over and over..thats just my point

Everything loses it’s thrill with repetition and (dare I say it) age.

Action-packed careers in general are related to cortisol. Adrenaline requires fear. So some suggestions such as tornado chasing will do.
