I would, as long as you realise what you are getting yourself into.

Full-time it is not a sustainable lifestyle. So safe money when you make money and go part-time a.s.a.p.

Having a family is tough when you're not around for two-thirds of the month, but it greatly depends on the character of your better half. She might even enjoy not having you around all the time 😉

It surely beats going to the same office every day. But by the end of the day you're still a regular blue-collar worker. So either you safe money, invest and try to find financial independence from your employer or go into a different direction entirely.

Follow your passion. No matter what your take home pay will be. But be aware of the impact it can have on your social life.

My 2 cents
