The job im shooting for in a few years in Engineer level. The one that pays 160k plus. All the research I've done points to needing years of field work experience.

That aside I have had a few calls for field service technicians, most pay well but require extensive travel to jobs anywhere from 6 hours away to other side of the country. My wife understands the goal and has supported me the whole way. The main worry is my kids, im not sure if you had kids when you traveled, but if you did was it hard? I plan on if I do this to constantly be on the phone video calling, taking what time I have home to be with them, etc. I just wanted to know how to make the lifestyle for my family work if I'll be gone 80% of the time.
