Good post Tom. Your right it doesn't matter if your home every night if you hate your job. I believe sometimes we as people let our jobs define who we are and it encompasses our lives. So some will not be happy no matter what. In the end its each individuals value system and priorities that will determine how much job satisfaction they will have either flying a plane or driving a bus/truck. Its a shame that there even has to be the debate about finding a career outside of aviation, especially since I believe we all love it so much or else we wouldn't be here.
