When I was in high school, my dad was an executive at a large international Fortune 500 finance firm.
His main job was to fly around the world and train salespeople on how better attract and retain clients.
One year, he was traveling for 180 days aka half of the entire year.
For many years I was somewhat conflicted about this b/c on the one hand he wasn't around much but on the other hand my mom didn't have to work, we had a great life and got to take international vacations every year.
As a father now, I appreciate the sacrifice my dad made to not see us as much but to provide a great life for his wife and kids.
