According to a new study, many women don't pursue careers in science because they are afraid of an unhealthy work/home life balance.

Researchers found that nearly half of women scientists say their career has caused them to have fewer children than they'd like. Sadly, many women scientists never even get married. There is just so much work to do, so many hours to put in and so much pressure to perform that their personal lives suffer.

Have you had to make great sacrifices because of your job? What were the sacrifices?
