Would intolerance to a level of risk typically encountered in civilian life not make someone unable to function there? My own experience in the public service

Would intolerance to a level of risk typically encountered in civilian life not make someone unable to function there?
My own experience in the public service was not so much of people unable to do their jobs but people unmotivated by them. My welcoming speech included the warning 'don't get attached to outcomes', and this was in a department disliked by the elected party where a lot of people had already been forced into early retirement.

Preference for stability rarely means complete inability to deal with instable situations. Also, let's not overstate instability of average tech job. It is not that bad.
