Rich parents, sugar mamas and "understanding" wives do not justify calling a flying career a profession. It is a working hobby unless you actually have to rely on the income it produces and live by the standard it provides.


Wives can only be understanding to the picture of the profession that the husband presents. Years later living the truth is not nearly so much fun for those left at home. People marry so that they can live a life together and to work on common goals (example: raising children). Being gone for more than half the year and then to have your days off while everyone else is at school or work is not living a life "with" your family ans leaves your spouse as a single parent.
