Prince Harry's Job Is Too Dangerous

England’s Prince Harry just lost his job.

For the last ten weeks the royal son, who is third in line to inherit the British throne, was in Afghanistan with the Household Cavalry Regiment Battlegroup of the British military. Harry's tour, during which he reportedly killed 30 Taliban, came to an abrupt end when the United States-based website the Drudge Report revealed his whereabouts. The Prince, 23, and his fellow soldiers are now slated to return to the U.K..

In simple terms, Harry's job became too dangerous. But you don't have to be a soldier to have a job where your life could be threatened. Terrorism, asbestos and even crazy bosses all can add peril to the workplace. Is your job too dangerous? And if so, what should you do?

Career experts recommend you begin by compiling your job concerns. “You have to sit down and make a pros and cons list and literally weigh whether you are doing this just for the money,” says Eve Tahmincioglu, author of From the Sandbox to the Corner Office: Lesson Learned on the Journey to the Top. That list should also assess how a potentially dangerous job impacts your family, says Tahmincioglu. “After the September 11th terrorist attacks a lot of people left New York and said, ‘I am done with this. I have to protect myself,’" she says. "You can’t live in fear or you aren’t going to progress in your career anyway.”

Dangerous situations can lurk in places that are not terror targets, too. “Prince Harry has more security in Afghanistan than you, if your boss is psychologically attacking you,” says Penelope Trunk, CEO of BrazenCareerist.com. "If you have an alcoholic boss who is screaming at you, you have no protection." A health code violation in your building could also put your life at risk. If you feel concerned about the possible presence of radon, asbestos or other toxins, seek out the building inspector or building owner. "Google (GOOG) to see if there are any citations against your building," says Tahmincioglu. "Depending on the jurisdiction, this is public information you can get from your county or city health board.”
