Choosing between career or love?
I'm with my girlfriend for more than a year now, we really love each other, but recently I'm started thinking about my future. I am 19 years old, and soon I'll have to choose between her or my dreams. I am often thinking about leaving her, though she is very emotionally unstable and I don't want to make her depressed. I am happy with her, and whenever I'm with her I feel as I am the happiest man on earth, though I feel like I have to go, I don't want to be committed yet, I want to be free and enjoy life to it's fullest, also my career choice is conflicting with family life. Any suggestions?
What does it mean when your parent dreams you got fired?
This is TOTALLY just a MomSpaz dream! Mom's spaz. It's their job. Do NOT let this get to you. It will undermine your confidence and that is the last thing you need right now. If she keeps doing this to you, just say, "I'm doing fine, Mom. Just pray for me, ok?" and blow it off. Now that you are in a career field you love, everything will most likely be quite different. That's just how it goes. If you hate your job, it's hard to make it work. God bless you, Fairelight
I want to start a career that my parents won't let me do. What should I do?
Is what you do something you love? Would you identify it as one of your passions? Then ignore your parents and do what you want to do.I was you a long time ago. I wanted to be an actor and voice over actor. I could cry on cue and make people laugh from my skits. Then I'd be grounded. That's right. I was grounded for acting.I loved to draw. And people said that I was very talented already before I was 5 years old.The arts were calling me, even before I can remember.Then my family, being the typical traditional Asian family, sat me down and told me I was forbidden to do arts “because there's no money in art.” My choices were business or science.The hypocrisy of my family was what made things confusing. See, every person in my father’s side were artists: oil painters to be specific. And they were really talented. So for them to forbid me from going into the arts was like them strangling my “soul.”I thought we’re supposed to look up to our parents for guidance as they're the ones who know what's best. I thought they had my best interest in mind when they decided in my future.I was wrong.I took sciences in school. I hated it.I took sciences in college. I barely graduated with a C-.I took Medical Laboratoy Sciences Technology and even though I graduated with honours, I hated it. I worked in the hospital and private labs for a decade. Every day was killing me inside.I went back to school and followed my dreams. I hadn't felt more alive since being a little kid. But I fell ill and I didn't have it in me to stay on the path.I love painting and people have given me positive reception. I play the drums and I enjoy doing it. I'm not good, but that's not the point.Parents aren't always right and they don't always do things that are best for you. They maybe living vicariously through you, and that's wrong.Your life, your passion, your education.Life is much more than chasing riches and not all riches is money.
Should you choose your career over love?
This will be one of the toughest choices of your life. Careers and love fulfill us in different but important ways. Having a solid career gives us a sense of accomplishment and self worth. Many people develop their entire identity based upon what they do. Then there are those who measure their identities based love and support of a partner. While your partner is that part of your life that keeps you happy, a dream career opportunity does not come around often. So if you haven't established a successful career yet, it looks like it's best to choose your job over your relationship. You don't work throughout college for love, you do it for your dream job. You prepared yourself to achieve your goals, and the opportunity has finally come. Many people who are freshly graduated from college take months, and even years, to find that one career they studied hard for. Now that career has come to you, and making you extremely lucky. You have the rest of your life to prepare for a family and be with your loved one. But you only prepare once for that chance of the ideal career. Otherwise, if you turn this down, you'll wait a lot longer for the next career opportunity that might not even be as good. Don't you want to have your career settled before settling with a family anyway? If your boyfriend loved you, he would support you all the way with whatever you choose. Take a look at the article below to help you further with your decision. Good luck. For more love advice, email advice.relationship@yahoo.com.

Should I go for my career or what my mom wants me to do?
Hello, I prefer for more of the serious answers. I am stuck on deciding on what I want to do with my life. I would love to get a bachelor s in biology so I can be a zooloogist, wildlife officer, zookeeper, or vet. Just something animal related, but my mom wants me to go into dental hygiene since you only need an associates degree for the high dental yearly salary of 80,000 a year. She says animals is a dieing feild unless you do veternary, and you will not find a job for zoology and stuff. I am not rich so i would probably have to pull out a student loan to go into veternary work. I have no interest in dental hygeine other than the schooling to pay ratio, i dont even like going to the dentist let alone being one, but i could be just over exaggerating. Should I continue with my schooling plan or should I go with my moms choice? She usually knows what she is talking about which is why I am still torn on the matter. Thank you for you time.
