Icarus Complex

I was reading a book that was written back in the mid 90's. The writer said that a Smoke Jumper made $ 8.50 an hour. With overtime and hazard pay they could make almost $ 30,000.

From 1,500 feet it takes about a minute and a half to para shoot to the ground, therefore a Smoke jumper is paid 21 cents to jump.
