What is more important - family or career?

One could not really tell because everything will depend on the situation. Usually, at age 30, woman must have a family already so as not to grow old single. BUt it would still depend on the woman herself though. It comes with what's her priority at age 30. If she still prioritizes her work and also financing other people's expenses, having a family might be her last option. There are also women that are already stable in their work and wants to settle down already. It's actually a woman's choice.

That would depend on the woman. Some women find that they want children so the family should be more important. Other women find that they get satisfaction with the careers that they have and have no interest in a family. I chose family. After my children were born, I continued to work, but soon decided that my children were more important, so I became a stay-at-home mom. That was over 20 years ago, and I would not change a thing. My children are grown now, but I am still young enough to have a rewarding career.

I'm 31, and my family is the most important thing to me.

It depends of course. I'd choose my family if I had to (husband since I don't have kids yet) but hopefully I'll have a carreer going on to .

To me it would have to be the career first then the family. Because if you didnt have the money to support yourself then how are you going to support a family. Because you can always grow and educate yourself. But again sometimes it is family over career because if you lose the job your family is there to support you.

I would say that depends. I would think that the family would matter the most. Some people might say that the career is. I think that it all depens on the individual.

I am 64 and My family have always come first , but I suppose it depends on the individual , I was married at 18 had 2 boys before I was 23 then had another son when I was 38 , My family has and always will be first in my life xx

i am 30 and for me at 18 i choose family over career and today i still feel the same. if i could go back their is alot id change but that is one thing i wouldnt dream of changing. my kids are my life. i married at 17 and had my first child a year and a half later. for me age hasnt made differents in my choice.

i think that not only at 30, but for your whole life, family must come first...careers can come and go and are never a definite thing, but as long as you have your family you will always have someone who is important to you...after all, family is real, careers are just jobs..

i do not think others idea,but for me ,when i am 30 years old,the family is more important than my career.but i will say that ,at present,my career is more important for 20-30 old.then some years later,when i have my own family,and when my career would be steady,i will pay my most attention and time to my hubby and my kid.lol...

For me I would have to say that family is more important. I think a career is important too, don't gt me wrong, but I would be completely lost without the support of my family.

I am 30+ and my family is far more important to me than my career. My husband and I are working toward making our ranch profitable enough that we can come off the road and work from home so we can spend more time with our family. The main reason I have my current career is to make enough money each month to support our family. I do enjoy what I do, but woudld rather be able to be at home instead of being away for the better part of each month.

everone has its own choise, and its all depends upon the way you handle, for someone it may be his/her career and for others it might be the family, but believe me everthing is interrelated, yes to have a good family life you need a good career and you can have a good career if you a good family ( ie emotionally, physically and financally strong) so, if you work put you heart and soul into in and if its time for your family then don't bring your job there.

Irrespective of age, I think that the choice is up to each individual. I had a very successful career, the only drawback was that my husband and I lived in different countries due to our job postings. When I was pregnant with our daughter, I gave up my job, and moved to be with my husband. We decided mutually that I would stay home until our daughter started school, as it would be the right environment for her. A lot of people leave their children with babysitters, or maids and a lot of times it is not out of choice, we were lucky in that, we could afford to have me stay home and bring up our child. When our daughter started school, I rejoined the workforce, I am not anywhere near what I had when I left my job, but, I don't regret anything and if I had to do it all over again, I would do the same thing. I love my family and no amount of money or fame can take that away.

What is in thier heart. I always said the my family came first but still worked. But if something needed to be done for my family it would come first.

I think it's probably different for every woman depending on her preferences in life. For me I have to say that family is the most important of the two.

I think her family is more important fore her as she canswitch to her jobs but can't switch families.

my family is way more important than ay career. I would lay my life down for my family.. I just now went back to school becase of my kids and everything. Now they are all in school so I go to school and hopefully I do get a career.but I never would put that first.My family always comes first.
