Skydiving For a Living

What it's Like to Tandem Skydive as a Career One of the hardest things in life is deciding what you want to be when you grow up. I never in a million years would have thought it possible I could get paid to jump from airplanes. If someone had told me when I was 16 that I'm going to be a professional skydiver, I would have thought they were crazy.
