I can't imagine being payed enough to do this.... this actually made me a bit dizzy watching this and if you are afraid of heights, I highly suggest you skip this.

if I **could** do it I totally would. I love heights. I have seen this video it's pretty epic. The base jumper videos off that skyscraper in Dubai are pretty epic

That's actually what my brother does for a living. He formally parachuted and base jumped for entertainment, so working on cell towers and other antenna I guess came naturally. There's actually a couple videos he recorded doing that nonsense some time ago, including base jumping off some skyscrapers at night. There might be some youtubes of that posted somewhere, so I might have to poke around for them.
If it's any consolation, the pay seems to be pretty good. He's making over 150k running his own buisiness out of his truck, though i'd be curious to the expenses having to drive all around and pay for gas etc.

Well some people do it like it's nothing.
He tried to call me to go out with him on a job. Suffice to say I wasn't having any of that shit heh.
My nuts roll up into my stomach just thinking about doing that shit. I think I could get 20 feet up before I started having serious doubts, heh

Now that I own my own business I can guarantee about 40% of that 150k goes to taxes. Expenses can help recoup some of it but it's a bitch. I am horrified of heights, horrified, but I would do this if I was given enough money. Be scared for a year or two and retire, hellz yeah.

As long as they provide me with a bag for when I pee myself at the top I'm in like Flynn.
