work life balance

Hi team,

Been looking at becoming a pilot for a couple of years now and I think I have found a way to raise the cash over the next number of years. Going down the module route.

I'm thinking about future jobs, whether to go passenger, cargo, privet work, or even helicopter stuff. I think the overriding factor for me will be work life balance as when I have the cash I'll be looking to settle down, so short haul would trump long haul. I understand that Christmas and holidays etc are often worked and that hours are long but I want to minimise this impact while also enjoying a career in aviation. Anyone know of any resources or articles out there that can give me an insight into various careers piloting and the work life balance generally involved.

Thanks.
