Career, love or both?

hello..most people would want to have both, if its possible. I want to have both but when i was younger, i had the unfortunate experiences of being given choices. It was a choice, which i had come to partly regret but hopefully i will not have to face another such situation in the near future. when i was fresh from college, my bf then who was 5 years older than me, had a stable job and is simply dependable and mature proposed to me. I was not ready to settle then and so i turned him down and opted to pursue the career that many would envy. Four years passed, i met another guy. I was deep into my career but i felt empty, i was not happy anymore, working without really much focus. and so, i threw caution to the wind, left behind a career and a scholarship-training outside the country every aspiring auditor or accountant would wish to avail, and married a guy i thought was mr. right. Seven years later, we separated, because of irreconcilable differences. I have a good career now although not as classy and mighty-high as before, but it pays. in both instances, i sacrificed either career or love.. now that i have experienced the consequences of my decisions, i can't still say which is to choose if given another opportunity to choose. maybe it depends on the person involved..but i will have nothing to lose if we choose both i guess.

my priority in life ...always been my career...i believe that love can wait, though much better if i can have them both.

Don't have any idea yet.

I rather choose both career and love because in fulfilling my career i need inspiration to achieve it.

for me i go prefer in career than love cause i know that there is just a time for love,,,,,,, i need to spend more time for my career,,,

career first, too! Love is important and yet after years of experience, Love without career is very depressing. You can't do this and that. You can't spend some time together coz you nothing to spend. And its really pretty depressing when you can't do what you both what to do. Both would be the best answer though. What would you do if you got a perfect career with no one to share to?

I guess the priorities would depend on the length and importance of the relationship. If it were a marraige or a long time relationship I can see rethinking the career to save the relationship. If it were a short term relationship or one that wasnt so serious then I'd say definitely career comes first. I've been lucky enough to work from my home office and be self-employed which allows a very flexible schedule with plenty of time for my wife and kids so it's never been a problem for us.

Well it depends, you cannot love all the time or you cannot concentrate on career all the time. There has to be balance always. If you concentrate only on your career, you will earn lots of money but you will have no one to love you or care for you, but if you only choose love, love doesn't feed you. You have to work to feed yourself.

if i had to choose between both i would choose love first^^ for me the most important thing in the world is love^^ and yes sure career is important for many people but you can be happy without a good career but without love you cant^^ sure money is important and feel happy bcs you are good in your job is great^^ but if you dont have love is like nothing bcs with whom will you share your happiness?^^ for sure love must be always our priority even if we have a good career we must never forget love bcs of it^^ love can give us happiness that even millions of money cant :) but money cant give us a true love so we must never waste one when we find it^^

The choice between having a career or making time for love is an extremely personal and individual decision. There are many factors which can affect your choice, and there are many people who have discovered how to achieve a healthy work life balance that allows them to have both. Careers and love fulfill us in different but important ways. Hang a solid career give us sense of accomplishment and self worth, aside from the practicalities of paying the bills. Many people develop their entire identity based upon what they do, elevating their career to a level of great importance in their lives. Then there are those who measure their success in terms of having a pleasant and rewarding home life. Try to develop their identities based upon the accomplishments of their children, and derive their self worth through the love and support of a partner. So what happen if you cannot do not want to make room in your life for both, it may not be for everyone. Many people who and establish themselves in a secure position are then more willing and comfortable later on the devote themselves to family. By the time they do settle down, they are more prepared to handle the responsibility.

I always pick love. Not only does love make me a lot happier than a job, I know I can always find some job, somewhere. There are more important things than money. A career can be satisfying in other ways than money, it's true, but finding love and having a family is probably a hundred times more satisfying. For me, anyway.

Some people rather choose career first especially when they are still young, because they think it will ruin their goals and dreams if he/she have already a family and children, and after they achieved their goals and having s stable job , that's the time for love, having family and children. :D

I will always choose career over love. Always. I don't see myself holding back for a guy who could be gone tomorrow or the day after. A job is something you need to make a living, a guy is not.

I want both of course. But in the event that I need to only choose one, I will definitely choose love. I won't live without my other half. I guess, work can be found easier... lol.

My first choice is my carrier. Yes my first choice is my carrier. And after everything is on 2nd choice. I am also believed in love but firstly I am concentrate on my carrier. Because I think if I settled in good jobs then there is much time to think about love and many things. And now I have not found any girls which I can love. But there are many expectations for my someone specials.

Careers can be very hard on your life and love life, sweetie. If you cannot balance those 2 you have a problem. Both are important, but we need to at least try and make the effort of giving enough attention to our loved one's. If it gets too much or that complicated situation arise, which you have no control off, you need to decide what is more important in your life. Career or love. TATA.

carrier comes 1st but we also cant lose our love

well I choose both career and love because if you you succeed in your career and if you don't have love then you won't have anyone who will be happy for you who can celebrate with you and after becoming successful you won't have your love so I choose both..
