> It sucks, but there's a lot of people that have a lifestyle like that - the military, long-distance truckers, airline staff, people that travel internationally for their job, etc

Yes, and its generally considered one of the most unappealing aspects of those jobs. Its one thing when the job requires it, as is the case with the examples you gave. When it is completely avoidable as it would be with many of the white collar jobs that are the focus of this thread, it's a weak justification that long-distance truckers also have to put up with it.
