Im not single but the as a member of the church don’t you want to get married?
You’ve got to be around home some do the time to be engaged socially so you meet the right person.
But only for marriage but not having a balanced life between personal life and work will just ruin you IMO.

Not worth it. You won't get that time back with your child.

Did it ~2 years ago. Got a 70% pay bump. Quit after 8 months, wasn't worth it.

Global? Probably. Domestic? Doubtful.

Absolutely.

Also, it can’t be sales. I’m not cut out for sales and wouldn’t survive that kind of role.

I think so. I think it’d only be real real travel heavy for 2 years tops.

Sounds like a great gig for someone who hates spending time with their family.
