don't care what they get paid....anything higher than a ladder AND involving electricity......leave me out........... 
Brings to mind a couple things. I just watched a segment of a show about hazardous jobs. This one was for repairing radio transmission towers. The guy had to climb a 1,275 ft. tower which took him almost 4 hours.. just to get up there.
While in college I was pretty lucky to land a summer job as a wire lather (we lashed the steel together before it was buried in concrete). For four summers I worked on various new buildings going up in lower Manhatten. I was making $5.75/hr. and $11.50/hr. for overtime of which there was a great deal of. That was back in the mid-sixties. We worked on, typically, buildings up to about 30 stories. I never thought twice about walking around the edges of plywood forms up there. Now you can't get me on the roof of my own house.
