Various instances we read articles time to time about a Sikh attacked here or a Sikh killed there doing a job. So I was thinking what is the worst jobs Sikhs are currently doing that are costing them their lives for little or no benefit and what are the most shameful jobs?

I would list being a 7-11 type store clerk / working in newsagent as a high risk of death or injury so many cases of people with Sikh names being killed.

And the most shameful jobs would be being enlisted in the punjab police and/or in Indian or British army where they are used as cannon fodder for our communities own persecution and fighting for other peoples illegal wars.

You've run together two very different things: high-risk and shameful. What does one necessarily have to do with the other?

Being a convenience or even normal grocery store clerk is usually shameful because you are violating Sikh tenets on Dharam di Kirat (Work in accordance with Righteousness). If Sikhs can't consume tobacco, alcohol, or other drugs, you're not allowed to sell them, either. If Sikhs can't consume Kutha (either Muslim meat or all meat, as per your belief), then you're not allowed to sell it either. Working in a strip club/cabaret/brothel as even a non-performer would be shameful as well.

And then on the other hand, there are the dangerous jobs which are in no way shameful. And I disagree with your characterization of them as "the worst", because any job that is not shameful is acceptable and honorable as Dharam di Kirat for a Sikh. For example lumberjack, which is America's most dangerous profession. Other dangerous jobs for men are
landscapers, linemen, farmers/ranchers, truck drivers, iron workers, garbagemen, roofers, pilots, fishers, and the most dangerous being loggers. Women don't usually do dangerous jobs.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
