It should be an enjoyable outlet that utilizes our skills and talents in a productive way. If you are spending time at home thinking about work, then you need to find the right balance. <BR/>I am going to paraphrase an old saying <I>"No one on their deathbed ever said, 'I wish I spent more time at work."</I> It may sound cheesy, but that is what it boils down to.<BR/>Having said that, I agree with <I>Sugar</I>, you are still young and have plenty of time to decide what is more important to you. Our priorities change as we get older, and there may come a time when you decide that the successful career has to take a backseat to the other aspects in your life. Whatever you do, always make sure that you put your happiness first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128204352385977626.post-68126458465983777882007-10-07T11:56:00.000+01:002007-10-07T11:56:00.000+01:00I can totally empathise with you, even though I ca...I can totally empathise with you, even though I can't say I'm in the situation.<BR/>I'll just tell you what people tell me: you're young enough to spend some more time deciding.<BR/>Just don't lose sight of who you <I>are</I> and what you really want.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128204352385977626.post-22317213592923290362007-10-06T01:36:00.000+01:002007-10-06T01:36:00.000+01:00I'm going to redo my comment, due to being rather ...I'm going to redo my comment, due to being rather drunk and mellow at the moment, and therefore more honest with myself and others.<BR/><BR/>While I can understand going for your career my personal view is that life is there to enjoy, so the big question to ask is whether your career is making you happy, or just giving you a sense of satisfaction in yourself. There's nothing wrong with satisfying your desires, but what you should really go for is what will make you happiest.<BR/><BR/>Of course, its never too late to change what you're doing, but if something else'll make you happy then do that first, then go back. Or if your career makes you happy then go for your career, and take care of other things you want later.<BR/><BR/>Any typos are attributed to a cheap French beer.Uncle Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07708859856230602799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128204352385977626.post-42136210393762439352007-10-05T16:00:00.000+01:002007-10-05T16:00:00.000+01:00wow, deep and meaningful - isn't self-doubt usuall...wow, deep and meaningful - isn't self-doubt usually my area of expertise ;) Hon, you'll figure it out thru trail and error the way we all do.

If you are in a job you love, then you are in a priviliged position. But you also have to remember 24 is still very young and do you want to have kids now? This is the time to establish your career.
