Career or Love? Which to choose?

It just all depends on the type of job you have and how much your partner loves you. If you are really in love and determined to make it work you can make any job work no matter how much time you are away from home. Just take a look at our military men and women, they are married and have families and get stationed over seas. Yet somehow they love each other even more once they are reunited and stick by each other no matter where they go or how much or little time they are together.

It depends on your situation. If the person really needs money then it's best to prioritize work first before love life. One can live without love life actually but it's miserable. We need someone to be with but being with that someone won't help our careers unless it's our bosses we're sleeping with.

a tough question and i have been thinking about this a lot either. my parents want me to be successful and go to abroad to earn more but of course there are consequences leaving my country like leaving my boyfriend behind. its really hard to be in a long distance relationship and its rarely possible that we can work together because some doesnt allow it. but i think if i were to choose now, i would choose career first and if we really are meant to be, fate will lead us:)

Hi MJ, I think different peoples will have different point of views. I believe some people will choose the love instead career but some will choose career. In my opinion, worthed or not worthed should back to ourselves, the goal or plan of our life. What and how we want to be and value our life. And to have both the successful career and love life, I think it is possible, though it depends on how you measure your success level. The successful term is varied between each person and it will always never be enough or ended which usually the cause of the problem. For myself, if I have to choose love or career now, I will choose career. It's nothing about being too ambitious or else. But in my view, I should have my life settled, satisfied and happy of myself before I have a happy life with my boyfriend. Though,we should find the person who love us purely with the same point of view and understand us.

It really depends on what kind of Career you want. Because if you want a career as a policeman, and just do your best in the police, then I think you can have a succesful career and a happy love life, but if you want to earn a lot of money, then most people have to spend a lot of hours, days, months and years to achieve the goal. Then it can be very difficult to have both love and career. If you want a happy love life, and a career, where you work a lot to earn much money, then you have to use all of your sparetime on your partner and children.

I believe that you can have both a successfully career and a great love like. If you are trying to advance in your career your partner should support you in any way possible than not helping you succeed. If your partner is only bringing you done then maybe you should think about leaving her and getting someone who is going to support you.

I already chose my partner over career though deep in my heart i like to work and earn money for my family and for my future. I have some regret for not working cause it lessen my self-esteem and a chance to meet new friends but i love my partner, i don't want her to be jealous.

A choice between career and love would not be an easy one to make. If i had to choose, i would go with the one that gave my life the greatest joy. That is what would give life true meaning.

Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooove...always, love! I believe that is why we were born: to love! What is a career afterall?!?!?! It doesn't portrait reality anymore. People jump from job to job in order to accumulate things and forget the essentials. It is obvious we can not live without money, but what would you say? Would you giveup on the opportunity of sharing life with a special someone - when this is so rare - just to have a nice view, or a car, or whatever? I say yes to love...I would give up things for love...I would never, though, sacrifice my family for love. BEcause the real thing accepts you as you are...the whole package...it doesn't make you choose... Ah, well, said too much, but I am not sure I have contributed today. Best wishes. :)

Of course, career. But if you can mix both, so much the better. Love alone does not put food on the table unless you marry someone rich and generous. LOL

Career come i believe that love it will come alone together with career

i say career first if your not established financially, your love life is bound to crash as well, besides love is a very weird thing it takes place many times in a persons life so hang on and work hard the fruits of your labor will soon be rewarded!

do I need to choose? If I need to? Maybe I need to choose love for my own life and mind satisfaction. Because we are here in this world for a big purpose that God gave, to love and to be love and not for career. but we need a career of course.

I say it depends on a person's status. If he/she can handle both, then go. It's nice to have a career and love at the same time. Love should be used as inspiration and not an obsession so that the person's career grow even better.

It is not impossible to have both, it is just a matter of dealing with it and depends on how your partner would perceive your dream. It has been said that opportunity knocks only once thus make someone to give up the lovelife for the sake of career. But love is just like career, if you let go off someone you love, you never know what would be the result, he may got hurt for choosing your career over him, or if he/she really loves you, would understand you and would support you all the way. If into a relationship, coordinate everything that has something to do with your career to make your partner understand what would possible problems will occur so you can discussed it early. Successful career would certainly benefit the relationship on the later dates. And lovelife as well would inspire someone to boost his/her career to its best. In choosing something, there are always pros and cons that needs to be weigh to come up to a better decision.

It depends on the situation. Love, what kind of love? What kind of lover? Career, what sort of career? Is there anything else that effect both? For me, I can straightly choose one of them. I will consider so many things around. The two things are important. So, I must be very thoughtful in deciding one. The past deed can't be repeated again.

Hi, My advice is to concentrate on career,because without career(job or business)a person is just zero in the world's view.Love can be made anytime when once you are successful love,dates,will automatically follow.Love will not feed your belly,career does.When you are starving you cant eat love and live,you will need money for everything in life. Without money I am pretty sure even your lover will not stay,because hunger is dangerous,Don't lose life and career for love. Wish you good luck.

It depends on whom I am fighting for. If my partner is deserving for my time and sacrifice then I'll choose love. If not, I'd rather have a successful career.

Love and career can happen simultaneously. I believe a constant balance has to be established when dealing with both. Men and women need to know each others situations, so no conflict arrives from differences in contact or closeness. Its a really healthy rule to follow, as such individuals show care and concern when spouses need to focus on their careers. You rule what you can do, but if you are too scared to do both, then you will have to forfeit the relationship. Such a person's goal should be to conquer both love and career at the same time, and realize he/she can do the impossible

well, do you like your career? could you recover from this change? are you in the careerfor the love of the job or for the cash.
