I think family is important,the family is a person's dependence,is our heart fortress,the family is person's haven,we cannot leave it.The enterprise is no doubt important,but if we leave the family,we will be able to make any,if we didn't have the dependence ,we will be afraid very much,don't have the security sense.Enterprise no doubt important,but the family is more important than the enterprise.

Well, based on your title, I will really choose my family. And choosing my family includes things that I must do in order to provide my family what they need and sometimes what they want.
I just want to share a little thing about the RETREAT I have attended last July. My close friend confessed to the priests and to all of us there that she is so busy enough to reflect and to think of what she had done whether it is good or bad because she has a lot of things to do because she is the President of the Student council and at the same time she joined many organizations plus her studies. And so I was a bit shocked about the priest's answer but then it's impact really affects me, as a matter of fact I can say that I can never forget what he said to us. The priest said that he don't think that a person will be busy enough and has no time to do things that he/she wanted to do.
It depends on how eager you are to spare time for your family despite the work that you have. However if you really think that it might affect your family then don't go for it. Besides you don't have a financial problem.
The decision is yours to make, I think you should have asked in your title, what is important family or me?
It's not about career here my friend, it is about what you want to do, it is about what you don't want to do anymore.
