I started training for a jump job and walked away. Not because I didn't fancy the flying (multi-turbine would be great hours building) but because I want to be a professional pilot, not just a pilot.
Remember that if parachutists could get up there without an aircraft, they would do so - 'planes are a means to an end, not the purpose of the operation so corners may be cut. There are also no requirements for licenced aerodromes, which may have implications on obstacle clearance (which is something to think about when heavy and multi-engined) and other operational matters.
This is not to say that all dropping jobs are death traps - there are some well-run operations out there. Just have your eyes very wide open and consider what you are being asked to do very carefully (which is pretty much the same for any 'bottom feeding' flying job I suppose).
Oh yeah - the money is cr*p, if you get paid at all, but then who gets into aviation for the money!?
