CAREER OR LUV?

[shiver]

IF U HAD TO PICK RIGHT NOW BETWEEN

UR CAREER

AND

LOVE

WHAT WOULD U CHOOSE?

i know a lot of ppl make the compromise of love/relationships for their career. wot would u do? would u put everything on hold to get further in ur career, ie by working BARE hours?

[lawrawrrr]

right now id pick love because im v. emotional atm

[shiver]

thats the thing i think u go thru phases emotionally and u crave love then ur like whatever babe im a strong independent gorl.

but overall i'd choose career.

[MKR&*42]

God knows what id choose in the future.

[David]

[Eric]

Life is a box of mysteries. Career I guess, time will tell.

[Johnathan]

Career

[Kardan]

Love.

[Charz777]

Love.

Aww :')

Love no matter what point of my career. Not to sound too mushy, but if you plan on spending your life with someone you love, then you should, no matter where careers lead to, or take you, you make it work :)

[FlyingJesus]

I DON'T HAVE A CAREER OR LOVE SCREAMS

But I'd pick career because people are shallow and if you're a successful fashion designer you will obv be able to find love

[Inseriousity.]

Career. I'd rather be settled myself before I try to settle with someone else!

[AlexJRiley]

career. love don't pay no bills.

I was gonna right this, exactly this...

[Chris]

Probably love!

[lawrawrrr]

thing is yeah career makes you happy but its so like materialistic to want the things

love actually makes you feel happy and nice and wanted in the world

What if your job is a doctor or a nurse or something along those lines?

Anyway I wish not to answer the question due to the fact I have experienced neither.

yeah i wanna be a teacher because i want to inspire people but the way everyone here is saying money is better, that's materialistic...

[FlyingJesus]

Is there actually something inherently wrong with materialistic goals or is that just socialist dogma telling you from birth to never care about yourself

[dbgtz]

yeah i wanna be a teacher because i want to inspire people but the way everyone here is saying money is better, that's materialistic...

Depends what they do with the money.

[Inseriousity.]

Love can also make you angry, jealous, bitter, insecure, paranoid. It's not a whirlpool of hugs and puppies!

[Futz]

career, i dont have anyone to love atm

[wixard]

futz i want to be your love

oh god imagine having laura as a teacher
poor kids

[mrwoooooooo]

career, plenty of time left to spent the rest of my life with someone

[dirrty]

yeah i wanna be a teacher because i want to inspire people but the way everyone here is saying money is better, that's materialistic...
i assume you'll be working for minimum wage, and rejecting any possible monetary promotion for your early years, since wanting an adequate amount of money is deemed materialistic. love doesn't put food in our stomachs, clothes on our backs and a roof over our head. without money in the capitalist society in which we live in, we are nothing. love will eventually come, but being skint is no fun as love don't pay no bills. especially since the majority of users on here are quite young (mid/late teens-early 20s).

well... duh. obviously money is necessary but if it was a choice between bare minimum (enough to live in an ok place and live a semi-cushioned life) or having someone you love, and loving someone completely, i'd choose the second. It's ridiculous to say that you don't need money cos obviously you do, everyone does, but you're kinda pushing what I say a bit too far.

[Casanova]

career. always has been.

[Aiden]

Career, it is my love! (If I had one lol)

[Kardan]

Pretty much, I too am looking to become a teacher and with the way things are going, I'm definitely on track and I'm already in a great relationship, so really, given the options of definitely having a career or definitely having love for the rest of my life, I'd pick the second. Love ultimately will give you more happiness.

how am i pushing what you said too far? i highlighted the fact that my point is applicable to our early years (not whole life), so it shouldn't be deemed silly for someone to strive for monetary goals within their early years of working life, because we are young. in the society we live in, it's encouraged for people to make the most money as they can so they can start a family and be financially stable. therefore, once someone does find love, it would strengthen the bond as financial issues can ruin a relationship.

lucky :lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll (thats my totally non jealous face). After a few breakups in the past I just felt so rubbish, I always tend to when I'm not with someone so that seems to me like life sometimes doesn't seem like it's worth living without someone to share it with. :(

Because you're saying that you can't live without money and basically making me out to seem stupid because of it, when I clearly know that, as does everyone else on this forum (and world). However, why do you seem to think that everyone should follow that path? I'd actually rather make mistakes in love and strive to find someone before setting myself up on a career path. Youth, for me, is about learning mistakes and being in love, not working their ass off to get money which isn't necessary to have tons of...

wasn't my intention to make you look stupid, and i never said everyone should follow that path? you've mentioned why you think love is more important (& explaining why) and i've mentioned why i think money is more important through being financially stable before starting a family. that's all thats happened, chill...

[FlyingJesus]

I would say that's a mix of dependency and underlying personal issues rather than actual love. If it's real love then it doesn't carry those things with it


oh god imagine having laura as a teacher
poor kids

lol learning inaccurate facts because it's what she personally believes

[Mark]

Career, cba with relationships atm

[Inseriousity.]

If it's real love then it doesn't carry those things with it

I disagree, I think all relationships are about going through the ups and the downs of life but the difference between real love is that you carry the baggage together and come out the other side stronger. I think love = happiness is just as bad an idea as money = happiness, in fact possibly more so as love means you have to rely on someone else to be happy and so people strive for this ideal fantasy of what love is.

Not all relationships have downs, it can be very true that love=happiness.

To be honest I don't think that's a question that people can answer properly. If whatever you chose, you had to live with..then I'm pretty sure most people would be confused with the decision they have to make, or regret whatever they chose. I really can't choose between either of them. If my job was something I loved then of course I want to get ahead in it, but if losing love was the cost, is it really worth it. It's a hard question to give a proper answer to, so I'm unable to provide one. xD

[Teabags]

I think I'd say/ like to say love, but in reality it'd probably be a career without knowing it.

[Catchetat]

a career I love over anything else

[Catchy]

career deffo

[SackRace]

career

[peteyt]

It's an interesting one. I value love more than I value money but I'd want to be at decent place, basically built my life up before committing to anyone. So I think I'd say career.

[karter]

Aww :')

Love no matter what point of my career. Not to sound too mushy, but if you plan on spending your life with someone you love, then you should, no matter where careers lead to, or take you, you make it work :)

aw haha. was going to say career but love it is!

[Rcsiee]

Love

[sex]

probably love, you can always get another job.

[Sharon]

Right now love, it'll definitely change to career one day

[shiver]

probably love, you can always get another job.
i dont think u understand the question, it is not about the mere advantage of having a job, but progressing to higher levels which require more work, more hours, probably more stress ETC

ie would u go thru all of that instead of finding love? because a lot of ppl believe the two are incompatible and can't work together.

i think i do, i honestly couldn't care less about progressing through higher levels...... which is why i choose the love option, is that ok with you lol

i'd rather have some crappy lower level job and have someone i love rather than have all the money in the world and be "high up" and be as lonely as hell

wow i think ur just a bit rude. i was not trying to influence ur answer, if u would rather choose love then i couldn't care less. however ur narrow minded and slightly boring/general comment of "U CAN ALWAYS GET ANOTHER JOB" was just a bit ridic and it does not relate at all to the question at hand. it's not about just getting another job, it is about progression. and some people enjoy working and have worked hard for what they want in life, i don't think ur in a position to call them "lonely as hell" considering a lot of people high up are married with kids. best of both worlds.

and ur neg rep was tres precious, appreciated

awww you must be upset, but thanks for replying to my "boring and general comment" out of all these oh so interesting comments :) i feel so special. and for the "you can always get another job" yes it does because the question is would you choose LOVE OR CAREER meaning to give up one of them for the other.........so yeah. try not to get so worked up please lol.

[Charz777]

I think if during your relationship, you can put career over your one true love then you haven't yet experienced love. Because when you experience love, and I don't mean infatuation, I mean real, true love, then there is no career in the world that would take precedence over it.

[Absently]

It would depend on my mood, if I'm in a good mood I'd be all about the love, bad mood = career. I don't have a career atm, so I can't possibly tell unless I was in the situation and was forced to choose. I can't live off nothing, so then I'd have to pick a career, but if my partner surely loved me they'd stick around.

[Grimmauld]

maybe career, since im still young. even though im in a relationship right now and the perks of it are awesome, things do get troublesome at just 19 haha. dont get me wrong, relationships have a lot of benefits, but sometimes you feel like its such a drag and it might get boring sometimes. its true that when youre single, you see happy couples, and when youre in a relationship, you see happy singles.

[Shar]

Career for now
