Sex worker would be pretty rough and possibly deadly. Being a soldier in one of America's resource wars. Anything to do with criminal justice. Working in a narcotics cartel. It's a lot of gold but no point if I'm gonna die.
Sex worker could be fairly safe, if sex workers had any rights in my country. (context: USA. There are countries where sex workers are are least somewhat respected and have rights. Not here.) Then it would be about as safe as being a doctor who makes house calls, or hospice, or other jobs where you may be in private with another person for some reason.
Agree, sex work is generally far safer in jurisdictions where it has been legalised and regulated e.g. Netherlands, Germany. It still carries the weight of Judeo-Christian guilt which leads to some unhealthy outcomes, usually for women.
