I think that qualifies as a proper place for a BASE jump.

My job, once upon a time, was to crawl down sanitary sewer manholes and shove flow meters as far as I could up the incoming pipe. The sewers were live. 
But I got to go home at night.
Who brings the guy food & water? Where does he go to the bathroom?

When I saw the title, I thought you would be linking to this.
My best anecdote for worst job is when I was in zero week* in jump school at Ft. Benning. We were doing landscape duty around the barracks and I was one of those who had to rake leaves with my fingers due to lack of tools.
*Jump school had three training weeks: ground week, tower week, and jump week. Zero week was what you did while waiting for the next cycle to start. I missed the start of ground week by about five hours.

I'd do that in the US, but not some foreign country where bribes and cutting corners on safety items is much more frequent.
POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
