I guess it all depends on what you need in quality family life. I believe piloting, as a profession, demands a great sacrifice with respect to family life. Most guys go ahead and live with it. Guys like Skyhigh would say no way it's worth it. To each his own.
IMO, driving a UPS truck 12 hours a day and being exhausted when getting off of work mitigates being home every night.
