I'm only 15, so obviously don't have any experience like you guys.
However, I do understand that if I do become a pilot, there will have to be sacrifices. Not seeing family as much, away from home a lot, hard to organize things around your work life, but these are things I'm going to have to accept if I want my 'dream' to come reality
I think it'd be rather naive of myself to become a pilot and expect to spend weekends with family etc
