1/2 the month off is more like half the month gone. Other jobs you're at home every day.
It is what it is but with the amount of time and investment that's required of this profession, and certainly sacrifice, you can certainly do a lot better in other fields. Just sayin
You mean other jobs like long haul trucker, merchant seaman, and railroad engineer?
If you didn't notice, this is a transportation industry. We move things over long distances. That pretty much means we won't be home every night. Deal with it or move on. If you are in love with flying, there are plenty of "day jobs" for pilots. Find one and be happy.
