Bit doom and gloom here.
I work more days than I used to, I work longer hours than I used to and I am away from home more too. The money I earn has gone up but my actual take home has not. On a good day I love it. On a bad day I want to go home, but I have to work and I would rather do this than anything else. If I did not need to work I would go 50% and when down route eat in nice restaurants rather than crew food.
If easy give you the option to return take it. You can always change your mind and it would at least be an experienced pilot in a wave of flight school aces.
Given your selflessness you owe it to yourself to do what you want
