Any thing you choose would leave you unsatisfied in the other field . I'll give you an example of my friends .

One guy , he is kind of play boy , he has dated more than 10 women . Never been single after his first . He has good physique , good looking has a great job . He doesn't care much about growth, promotion . Kinda chilled but keeps lot of backlogs and dues at his work place . Doesn't know what is going on at his office . So , somewhere at the corner of his heart , he feels he is too careless , should work more . Give more time to his job than love , sex or a social life . But as he is soo much into fun , this feeling never goes away .

Another guy , very successful , nerd , always into studies . Jumping from company to company buying cars and properties . He has most of his time invested in growth , financially . But he always had this feeling that he never had a girlfriend , din had sex , no romantic life .

Then comes my story , I broke up with my ex . Dint persue higher studies , came back to home . Joined a regular job and spending quality time with my parents . I feel displeased about not doing well with love or career . But I'm enjoying time with parents .

Summary : whatever you choose the other part of your life is going to get fucked up . So close your eyes , ask yourself what you want . Don't let other people dictate you how to live your life .

P.S - if you end up inventing an algorithm to maintain all the parts of life perfectly.

Because everyone else is building fantasy forts for ‘Love’ from romantic Hollywood movies.

Short answer - always choose career. Because everyone just want to be with someone. Everyone want their love-story to be special just so that they can tell people or have weird satisfaction. Basic thing is you can love many many times but career opportunities are rare.

In my 1st year of graduation, I was in love. Those perfect and forever kind of love. I was in one of the best college in country but she was in another city. Gradually distance was becoming a serious issue. So I decided to change my college. I thought if I could save my relationship by taking a degree from little college, whats the worst that could happened? Less salary ? At least I will be happy because we had everything planned out for our future. I talked to my parents, told my decision. Everything was ready and she broke up with me. Now don’t awww me. At that moment I thought I lost everything. Gave up on studies, started taking participation in cultural activites, traveling etc.

Few years later, graduated. Got the best job despite low grades due to college name. Met a great girl. Fell in love again. And life is beautiful. Just imagine if I had given up on my career at that time, I would have been probably unemployed and then girl would have dumped me.

So, moral of the story - yes! Love exist and its beautiful. But life needs career and passion.
