How a Career in Medicine Makes It Hard to Build a Family

Being an airline pilot is also a huge challenge for families. Even tougher for a female airline pilot. I personally know a female pilot who was never able to keep a pregnancy working around the clock. A 24/7 television career is also challenging. I left my full-time 24/7 TV job in lieu of my 24/7 pilot husband’s career when we had kids. Fortunately I was able to stay home on a pilot salary. The lucky ones have family who can help.
