When you’re young, which should you put first—love or career?

When I was your age, I was so driven to finish college studies and be able to start a career. I also met my first boyfriend in my senior year. The relationship was good, and we both were able to finish our studies. But the relationship didn't last long when we started to have our own careers. Lots of adjustments of course, but we just moved on. You just have to enjoy life kwenge, and by doing so, everything just falls into place. Enjoy your career, your family and friends, and relationships. By doing so, you'll just know what's important to put first above everthing. Enjoy life!

It would have to be career for me since I'm somewhat a motivated person. It's important for me to feel good about having a career as it makes me feel it's something I'm really good at. Love can wait if it's true.

Thanks alot for sharing your views jolie. A career make you feel that you are doing something you are good. it brings out the expert in you.

Right now, career is far more important to me than love. It's not that I don't have time for love, maybe I just have to take one step at a time. I have to prove something to myself first before I can say I'm deserving to be loved by someone deserving enough to have me.

Hey carrotcake, You have a wonderful idea, if you are the type who concentrate on one thing first before moving to another then right now work on your career and love will find its way to you later. Wish you all the best in your career and future love. Thanks for your response.

When I was young, I put more on my career because it was the very important thing that helped me to have a very good beginning in my career. I considered career more important and did not consider love till I had worked for a few years. This is my own experience. Thanks, kwenge.

Hi sir william, thanks alot for your advice. I have been working since the year 2004 immediately after college.....we fell in love while in college but we had to shelf our feelings for our career's sake. Thanks william for your response.

honestly, I've been working since I was 7 years old. Being an artist, that's usually the time we start in the business. I'll be 25 in a few months, and to tell you the truth, i'm tired of working. Love is my main priority now.... that's just my case, but work will be there, as always.

for me the age thing never really matters, but we have different priorities in life, right now I'm putting my career first in line but love would still be surrounding that path, but prior to this change of heart I have always placed love first...

hi kwenge! for me, i think we can do both when we're young. i think we should do both while were young. we have the energy and the drive to develop our career but we should also have the energy and drive to enjoy ourselves regarding love and relationship. we would enjoy our career/work more if we have some spice in our life like love. and love would surely give us inspiration to be more hardworking. the one thing we should remember though, is to have a balance time for career and love.

How young? When I'm still studying I really focus to have a good career in the future, that's why I'm study hard. Love just come along the way but it never stop me to pursue my career actually it inspire me also. It doesn't gave me the idea to choose which to priority, because it works both for me :) Thanks!

Hey Anndocs, Thanks alot for your response. Its good for you that you can do both without any effect. There are people who when they have relationship while in college their grades fall tremendously.
