Love or career ?

If I had to choose, I'd pick love. Once you have it, it'll drive you to do anything else you want. A career, much like money, can always be made.

That is where I have seen it to be different.

I have noticed problems such as being too busy with business and so on causing problems in the relationships.
Maybe it is just people who are highly career minded?

But it seems to be a big problem in regards to relationships which is love, pretty much.
 
Paul, it is definitely a trend nowadays that people place relationships behind careers. Unfortunately, the system is such that when people graduate from school, they need to make a living (whether to pay the loans or regular bills). So a lot of young people are worried more about paying rent than finding a partner. Given that there are fewer good jobs out there (and those that exist don't pay much), people overwork themselves and they have barely any time for any social life. So when are they expected to meet and date people? Unfortunately, things settle down when people hit 30s and get some kind of financial stability that allows them to start thinking about themselves.

It is a sad reality.

I guess you are probably right, I am still young but being a head strong dedicated man, I do put it before my relationships too.

It was just something I recently thought about after possibly going into another serious relationship.
Unsure if others find it like this but, I find running a business you have tons less of free time, and it causes conflict from what I have experienced.

Maybe I will look at it different as I grow, but for me I remain strong about career.
 
I didn't plan it this way, but love came first in my case. I've been with the same girl/woman since I was 18, so prioritizing was less of an issue. There were times when the relationship had to be awarded a smaller amount of time, because there are only so many hours in the day, but that's just the way life is.
