history: I work in the oilfield a a field geologist.  My work requires me to be away from my family for days, and sometimes weeks at a time.  I feel very isolated and miss home. I often am gone from my home and family for days or even weeks at a time.  I work on remote locations_comma_ looking for oil and gas. Sounds like an interesting job.  I'm sure it's taxing on the family though.
current: It is difficult feeling isolated.  I miss them a lot.
next: In the end is the trade off worth it?
