I place this in the Regional section of this forum due to the fact that.... if you were to recommend such a life to those you love.... how would they react after reading your posts?
Personally, I would never recommend a career as a Pilot to anyone I know... I tell them to learn computers... and then buy your own airplane if you wish to fly...
Websters defines a job as a task done for pay. A career as the activity one pursues as one's life work. In other words, a career (life's work) doesn't need to involve being paid. So, recommending it as a job/occupation/vocation/profession vs recommending it as a "career" are two different things entirely.
