A certain situation in my life made this almost taboo-like question pop into my head. In the long run, what is the most important, having a job or a good social life like family, friends and/or love?

If you only had to chose one, what would you pick? Since I've never had a job, I can easily say that love is the most important to me. When I've eventually had the experience of having to work I might put have to put my career on top priority, or will love still be the most important? Please tell me what you think!

Whoa!  I have to think deep enough about this question.  I would say it depends.  I would choose career if - I can help feed, take care, support my family and loved ones in need.  However, if its something that isn't that drastic - I would choose love.  I believe you only live once, might as well enjoy it with people that you love. 

What a good answer. ^^ That made me think of a following question..

What if a person you love always puts their work on a higher priority than you?Would you be fully understanding or hurt?

That's really tricky and totally depends. Where I'm at right now, I would say that a career is more important to me. If I have to put other things on hold (like relationships, etc) to get where I need to be then so be it.

But there's a catch. Having a good career isn't just about me. It's about being able to support and take care of my family as well. 

Good question, Piddy. For me I have never been very interested in a career at all, I'm not interested in better jobs and making more money. I don't think a better payed job with a nice title is better than a low income job. It's all abut what tasks you have at work and the people you work with. So I'd go for love.

As for your other question I find it very hard when other people put their studies or work in front of me. Simply cus i think my way of thinking is the only right one and they should think like me. I've broke up many relationships just becasue the school was more important than I was and I couldn't stand it any longer.. Like Kyutie said if someone is trying to archieve a career to be able to feed and take care of a family then i totally understand it, but when people want a career just to get tons of money and build their own home cinema that's just distaseful in my opinion. People shouldn't care so much for money.

While I think its a good idea to learn a job skill so you can take care of yourself/family in the event that something happens, I would go with love over career. I was in that situation with my husband; we were/are both doing the job we had wanted to do since we were children, but it put us in different parts of the country from each other. So, I was going to leave this job at the end of my contract to be with him; it didn't end up that way though, hubby had to end his contract early for medical reasons and we are able to be togehter.

This is a pretty deep question one that can't really be answered if one doesn't know everything. Personally I know how hard it is to choose.

For example I have the chance to go forth and get into a career that would involve fullfilling my dreams and possibly find my true place in the world. But If i do go, I most likely will have to move miles away from my family and friends, and more likely than not my boyfriend who I am madly in love and I will probably break up and I will loose love.

So at this moment, I don't have the answer, but I do know that no matter what choice one makes, you'll end up where you are suppose to. I think that I would rather have friends and family over a job, but at the same time, I want to know where I belong.

In other words, your question doesn't have a right or wrong answer, but for me personally, I feel like if i don't try to obtain my dreamsn, than those friends and loved ones will be let down in some way, because I didn't give it my all to be the person they all believe me to be.

Personally, I don't know.

I will probably be coming up to this situation in a couple years, which kind of makes me nervous.

But with what I want to do, I will most likely be able to find work anywhere. I chose doing what I love even though I know I won't get much money from the start, so money isn't what's important to me. I can honestly see myself and my boyfriend living in a tiny apartment at first with not very much stuff, and I feel like I would be fine with that. Money doesn't make a home.

I guess my answer would be love, and a career. My boyfriend supported me going to a college an hour and a half away from him, and now I'll be moving out there, and we're working out the fact that we won't see eachother as often. We both support what eachother loves.

So my answer is both, at the moment.
