Ive worked at heights that I had to become comfortable at, you never get used to it but develope a healthy respect for them.

These heights are in another league though.

Not at all. I've jumped from heights as low as 400 ft, although its not to be recommended. Time in the air is about 15 secs and the landing is a bit harsh. General height for military parachuting is 800 ft.

I would do that for fun let alone be paid for it. At the moment I am paid to sit at a desk and make money for a bank.

I would give up all I have learnt and experienced work wise for a job like that.

Not a hope in hell!

We've got leaves in our gutter that have needed cleaning out for over 3 years. I suspect they'll still be there in another 3. Evolution gave me feet - Not wings! There's a bloody good reason for that and its something I like to call gravity... IT NEVER LOSES!
