Which is a bigger achievement for you, a great career or a great marriage? Why?

Oh by far marriage is a bigger achievement for me, as I truly thought I no man would ever want me and financially I was set at an early age so while I enjoy what I do career as such was never important to me....but I did meet that man...who could accept my past and marriage is a wonderful thing....

a bigger achievement for me would be a great marriage. i've succeeded in my careers... and the feeling of succeeding in these careers.. can't compare to feeling of being with the love of my life. maybe it sounds cheesy, but i do value a successful marriage over a successful career.

Great career. 1. I don't ever plan to marry, and 2. If that were to ever change, it wouldn't be without a great career. I could never do "living on a prayer" with anyone.

Definitely a great marriage. Because then you aren't all alone. You've got someone by your side who you love and admire and feel in awe of. Someone who completes you. Someone who gives you happiness and comfort, which in turn give you a reason to care, a reason to be charitable, a reason to live. They guide and inspire you to be the best person you can be, and they are right there with you fighting life's obstacles. I agree with "to each his own", but frankly, it mystifies me how anyone can even compare the importance of their career to the importance of marriage, let alone to rank it higher. Sure, a career might give you money that can give you higher odds of surviving longer. But if you don't have a loving bond with a kindred spirit, why would you want to survive at all? Aren't you better off dead?

Great career. Marriage and relationships are a joke.

A great career.A career is something that I can control.A marriage involves two people and they both have to pull their weight to make it work and that doesn't always happen.Today,I'm divorced but my career is still intact.

A great marriage. Because I married fresh out of high school, my husband and I started building our life together, we worked hard, saved as much money as we could at the time, and put it away for future use. We had a life plan. Did we want children? Did we want to own a home one day? Did we want a new car, or 2? How much money can we put away for unexpected emergencies? God forbid, hospital stays, or injuries that could paralyze one or both of us, what then? What would we do then? We worked our butts off through the years, we had no help from anyone, at any time. We did it ourselves. We lived very frugal, lived in a place where the sewer backed up in the basement, our home. We didn't always have food, but never whined, complained or gave the oh poor me routine, to parents siblings or friends for free handouts. We lived on macaroni and cheese 'cooked' on a Coleman. There wasn't always electricity. But you know what? After putting all of our blood sweat and tears into working and saving, fast forward to now, and we're doing well for ourselves. Bragging? You bet, we worked long and hard for what we have. I actually knew what I wanted to do with my life when I was just the tender age of 15 years old. I wanted to marry my forever. I did. We are both living our dream.

I say a great personal secretary (since I am divorced now) because a great career can be MUCH easier shaped than a great marriage. If u have a knack for buying / manufacturing for low and selling for high, you got a set career. U have to literally fight an intifada to find a good mate.

It's hands down a great career. I don't need to love and I don't need to be loved. Money makes the world go round. Love is second hand emotion.
