If you can find a half decent/shonky operater, Pj ops can be a good start to your flying career. I worked for a DZ on the east coast for about 9 months. Sure, the planes are a bit tired, and the weather is not always perfect. The way around this, is to make sure you look after the a/c you fly even if it is a heap, and if the weather is less than desirable, Dont fly unless your comfortable! You will get a lot of mixed opinions on prune about Meat bombing, but if you can get a break, go for it.
Skydivers are a strange breed, bit of fun. Watch out though as they are all experts on the weather/aircraft/theGPS!!
Good luck, and Dont fly unless they give you a chute to wear yourself!
