Risky but not as risky as it used to be. Many tests are done pilotless these days. No aerospace company is going to expect their staff to put their lives on the line for the company. Most pilots wouldn`t say it`s a daft job. Many pilots live and breath aeroplanes and salary wouldn`t come into it.

It's dangers are a myth of the past. Check e.g. with Boeing or Airbus, no test pilot has died in many, many years.
