As a young boy, my educated dad encouraged me to find a safe job.

He found me a safer job, but it involved actual work and wasn't any fun at all.

I have a second safe, a barrel job, hidden quite carefully.

So from the mouth of the author himself - almost all went into steady safe jobs.

There were better things in life than a safe job.

And a steady, safe job in a single place would soon have me daft.

However, this was not a safe job and he spent two and a half years very near or at the front.

Others feared being sent into combat units if women took over the safe jobs.

Should I take a safe job as a concertmaster of an orchestra?

Like everyone in this game, they've had years of uncertainty and now they think they've found a nice safe job.
