Anyone here a pilot? Or wife of a pilot?

My husband is seriously considering a career change. Right now he has one of his dream careers, but with the way some things are going, he's just not sure how much longer he will be happy with it. He has always wanted to be a pilot, but I guess felt like it would never happen and it was just a childish dream. He was talking to one of his coworkers the other day who just finished all his schooling, training and all that. I don't remember everything he was telling me, but now he feels like he can do this and this dream is within reach.

Part of me is nervous about it, for several reasons. But part of me is obviously excited for him.

I don't know. Anything I should know? If he did this, he would only fly within the United States.
