For me, I want a simple life, Without my family even though i Have a very good career, It's meaningless.
Some people today, they always chose career, fame, and money. Career, fame and money will never last but people who love you the most, whatever you have and what kind of people you are, they will understand, accept and believe in you no matter what!

In my case I have actually gone beyond theory and have actually made a choice. I have chosen my family over my career. I was an honor graduate and I could have gotten a better job in a bigger city but I chose to prioritize my husband's career and move to the city where he works. It's been three years now and I haven't found a job that's perfect for me. It makes me sad and depressed sometimes but I have to stand up for this decision.

Dont be sad and depressed because things happened for a reason. Remember " When you're down and nothing God is up to something, who knows right job is on the way, just pray and be happy.. remember things come unexpectedly.. Life is full of surprises and its just like a box of chocolate, you don't know how much you get. God bless on your job haunting! :)

This one is easy for me, I have never chose career over family because its because of them that I look or strive for a career but if my job is hindering me from my duties (as a son, a big brother, a dad, a boyfriend) then I draw the line and ask for guidance from my superiors, if we can work things out then good but I will never ever Jeopardize my relationships and my family for the sake of an underpaid job hahah

Lucky you! hahahahaha!
Oh well it's nice to hear that you work things out. You really know what to do.. Sometimes people were becoming greedy if their salary were increasing and in no time theyre starting to neglect their family! That's why lots of marriage ended up to seperation or divorce because of that greediness.
Have a nice day ahead! :)

to me,I also prefer a simple and peaceful life.I think family is more important than career.
If you lose your job,you can find another one,even the better one.but if you lose your family,I think you can not find another one like before.
Family is one part of our life,it keeps us to face the hardship and challenges,it makes you feel powerful.
Anything is not very important to me except family.

That's true Family is the most important of all. With them, with their support you will be complete, well that's for the people who wants simple life and peaceful life but peole who wants fame, and all the luxurious things in the world, they always want so many things, theyre always not contented on what they have. Oh well, You cannot bring back times and crying on spilled milk is useless..
