Do what you want with life. It goes by too fast.
I just wonder when people are pilots, yet complain about being away from home, what they expected? You can be a pilot and be home every night....if you want to be a full time CFI, banner tow, crop duster, sky dive pilot, etc.
If you can work for yourself & have your own a/c, that's the best possible situation.
Good luck to all.
