Pros

Set my own Calendar (take vacation & family events when I want to) Work w clients who value me Stay Connected to the military (w/out being deployed) Compensated fairly (I earn it - I keep it) If not me, then who will take care of our clients? If you are a leader & want it, you can get promoted - the best applicant gets the nod. i.e. more women are in leadership over the past 10 years & I'm here for it!

Cons

Fully Commissioned (know that going in) It can feel like "swimming w an iron weight on your feet" but "just keep swimming" The licensing process can be daunting - how bad do you want this?
