Career or family?

Pro career:

1. Worked very hard to be where I am today

2. Gives me financial independence and the confidence that comes when you can 'actually' go dutch on a dinner

3. Helps me meet more of my own kind - I feel more connected, appreciated, and proud of being me

4. I know 'I' really want it for myself.

Pro family

1. worked very hard to be where we are today

2. Gives me financial security and the confidence that comes from having a home well run

3. Helps me be a part of an 'exclusive group of family people' - who talk about kids, schools, future plans etc. - Right now, I don't really fit-in there and I am losing more and more of my friends to 'that' group

4. I do not know if I want it as much as others want it for me
