I know it's not fresh issue but I still wondering..what will you choose if you have those options. You are offered a great job with a good salary but it requires a long affice hours or sometimes sacrifice your personal life.For those ladies..do you think that you will take it or you just want to get ordinary job to maintain your love relationship...hemm,what bout you guys i need your opinion too..thank youu..
Both or a balance would be the ideal outcome, but if I had to choose one....
I'd go with Love.
career
on hindsight, career..it liberates you when you do well...love..it entraps you when it goes badly...
Love. Life is short. I don't wish to be a slave to money. Too much money is only a number. It is only when you use the money, the money is yours or it is just a number appear on your bank book.
for men - always career then u could find honey
for women - always love then u could seduce the prince with everything
One cannot live on love and fresh air alone.

One who is truly loving does not have to make a choice. That loving quality is more than enough. Whether it be career or love or … it no longer matters.
PS – Beware the mind that plays games.
Simple English.
Please.
Tho I am a gal, i give you a frank opinon on this from a gal perspectives, quite bias for you to just ask guy, if I am the mod, i would had banned and lock up this thread.
The same question gal frens of mine who asked me, money or love? My reply is, of course it is the best to have the best of both world, but then somehow, one would outweight the other. So, if you, as a guy, asked me career or love, if I am a materialistic gal, i will said career, love can come later, cos money outweight love, with money then we can have love, so go ahead and makes tons of money, we can meet once a week, no problem, just remember to share the earning.
But if I am a homemake or rich enuf gal myself, I would tell you, Love, cos Love can hardly come, let fall and make love, career can built up later, it is not that we are short of money, relax and enjoy life rather than slave for money and career.
love
Career. Just look at the number of loving couples that quarrel when the mortgages and utility bills and credit card statements coming every month
Money first, you can't live on love.
Can, why not, some of we gals can live on Love, when the guy fall for us, the money will automatically come in without remorse
yeaaa..and they said love is thing that money can't buy^^
Money you can gain anytime. When you start to age, it will be hard to produce a family especially for aging women. I don't want to sound sexist, but it is true, it is harder for women to give birth if they attempt to postpone it after 31. What good use of having a career, when you reach 50s and have no children to share your joy and wealth with. I know of one rich career Auntie, when she died in her 70s, the nephews and nieces whom she hardly know, got the spoils of her loot.
All work and no play makes jack a dull boy. I rather have my personal life. Or can i have a normal job that does not eat into my personal life
thats the side effects for having an overemphasized women charter ...
woe to them!
Giving up love for career ? Not worth it .
some give up career for office sex
Depends on which one you value. make it simple lah, sometimes we couldn't get both perfectly...
first, to find balance is NOT to have half of the good and half of the bad, but IS having ALL of the good and NONE of the bad, that is balance.... in the first place we want to achieve balance because it is the best for us, take for example a balanced diet...
second, ask urself, u live life for? what are ur philosophy or principle u live by? if u have none, time to think about it... for me, i do everything to be happiest... why do i type this post now? cuz by typing out i will feel happier than keeping some of my thoughts to myself.. it is all about happiness... why am i studying? cuz i will be much happier later in life... why am i good to my parents, cuz i will feel happier if i treat them better... why do i donate? cuz i feel happier inside...
so which is happier for u? career or love? but of cuz, try to have a balance in life, which means to take all of the things u want and desire and none of those u dont... would u rather 3 more hours of sleep or 3 more hours with ur loved one?
edit: to add on that, MONEY is NOT EVIL!! there is no such thing as too much money... money doesnt make u unhappy, money doesnt makes u stray away from the good paths... so much for media influence... well a poor one can be evil too, steal money, smoke, abuse family member, doesnt really occur to rich ppl? to distinguish rich and poor people is just that the rich are luckier, more hard working, and smarter... the rest of the traits are up to individuals...
no such thing all good, no bad. You may hv a sexy body, nice good muscule and shape, but armpit damn itchy, you can hv money and live in luxury, but the illness and sickness keep haunting you and the worry of losing money keep hammering your mind, who you want to inherit u fortunes is also a maddness, then there is old to take care of, you can be poor, careless about what happen tomorrow, mind more free and easy going, but need to worry on how to meet the end needs.
Happy must be geninuely happy, dun said happy, but deep inside very unhappy
Well, love don't pay the bills unless that's what you're selling.
You have to be practical here. And you ponder the juggling act that defines life - for now and a couple of years, a dual income scenario might be useful, then decide how to transition into a single-income scenario if you settle down and have kids.
Saving up the mullah in the earlier years is really going to help your mortgage and finances. The research indicates that the number one thing couples argue about is finances - so rake it in while you can - money ain't gonna buy you love but it sure can smooth out the rough edges of it. Having some dosh on hand also means you're committing to the relationship for better reason - you want to, not because you're needy.
This isn't too hard, it just takes proper planning.

well said.
So Itchyarmpit.....you didn't say "career or love" in your post, so which is it for you?
"first, to find balance is NOT to have half of the good and half of the bad, but IS having ALL of the good and NONE of the bad, that is balance"
I don't think this makes sense.
