Family or Career?


There is no more free education, no more free medical care and no more free housing in the capitalstic world we are living in nowadays. To make things even worse it is getting very difficult to find a decent job and provide your family with a quality life you want. Once you found a job and want to get promoted you should devote more of your time for professional and career-oriented life. This situation is pushing both men and women to work equally hard to survive, maintain and build their own world.
As a result families spend less and less time together which leads them to poor famiy relationships. Do you think it is possible to have a happy family life and yet to achieve success in your career? Do you think that personal and professional life can exist together or we should make our own choice based on our values and views? Family or Career?

  1. If I had a choice between Family and Career I would choose Family. Family is everything for me. It is the feeling which I can't just tell or write. We should feel it in our heart. It is in the deepest place of our heart.

    Maybe nowadays it is impossible survive without money. So in my opinion personal and professional life can exist together. The first thing we should know is realize why we are working for or maybe why we have got a family. I mean thing two way of life connected to each other. In brief we work to survive to keep our family. Also we should pay a huge attention to our family. Anyway what is the point living without family?

  2. In America & Europe are being career life.The concept "family" is loosing meaning of itself.
    Family is like a contract of 2 different genders as relationship there.
    In Uzbekistan both of them career& family.
    We spend our time fifty-fifty(50%/50%) to each other.

  3. I think that personal and professional life can exist together. I agree with Doston.

  4. Everybody has a father.So let`s think how does our father feed up us)For instance, my father works every day and he does his responsibility.
    It doesn`t mean that he is not good in child`s bringing up.Every day when he came home he asks me about my study and about my problems. However every weekend we spend our day together.I think it is enough him.
    When I`ll have a child(Of course I`ll have a child)I `ll be happy if he lives in good life condition.Summary I wanna say that if we are able to do both of them we are one of the most happiest father in the world.
    I`m sorry for my grammar mistakes.I`m sure I made some mistakes)))

  5. I agree with Doston, he is right about parents work for providing their family and one connected with another one,but family can't exist without providing with money.But people can live without family can't live without money.

    I don't agree with your last opinion. Do you think you can live without family? You have enough money but you have no family, is it okay for you? What do you think?

  7. Doston.
    That would be great without personal question, if you can.May be I couldn't live without family,because now love my family, but there is some people whose childhood was terrible, they din't get any cares from their parents, they hit them, shout,call them.

  8. Okay Bobur you're right no personal questions)))

    Well in my opinion Uzbek people care more about their family. And also they don't forget about job.

  9. FAMILY OR CAREER? IT is very hard question and i will try to explain you my opinion! How Doston said, Uzbek people prefer FAMILY and it is only because of our mentality and the level of our spirituality! Europe people forgot about these important things. It is big disadvantage but may be because of that their economical development is higher,than our, SO,think ABOUT IT YOURSELF!!!
    Briefly,i think that people can combine and there is no NEED to sacrifice to one thing,but is depends ON MAN and HIS WILL!!!
    P.S. Actually We can do EVERYTHING - we only have to WISH it OURSELF!!!

  10. If this is an IELTS writing task two, then I must say the topics are getting more and more interesting.
    It is quite interesting to read all the comments the users of this blog leave. In my opinion, there is no wrong answer or point of view. Every person has his or her own idea about life, and I don't think it will be correct to disagree with any of those comments.

    The West or developed countries faced the problem of family hardships, due to the lack of time spent together or socializing, many years ago.

    I personally believe that it is possible to have a family and still try to get a well paid job. Unfortunately, we don't always have the luxury of choosing a career or a job which we really want to do. Ironically interesting but what is considered to be a good place to work at,nowadays, has become the place where you get a decent salary.

    Moreover, I strongly support the idea that people sometimes have to sacrifice something in order to achieve another more important goal. Yet, we try our best to avoid having such a situation when one has to make a choice between the two very important life composites.

  11. I wanna say to Doston. Well technically person can leave without a family. But I wouldn't call it ''live''. It would be ''exist''. So you want to just exist and live away your life then go ahead and live wihout a family. :--)))

  12. Maybe because that I am not married yet but I believe that you can have both in your life. Career and family. It all depends of your relationship with your second half in your marriage. If you guys are friendly and supportive to each other and know how to cooperate and whisper to each other you will find the way out and achieve both. Just support and always stay committed. I don't like when one person dominates all the time. Cmoon guys, be friendly and supportive. Just because you are a man it does not mean that the woman must be inferior and listener or obeyer (is there such kind of word in Eng.) and you should dominate all the time.

    I think marriage between 2 people should be in a cooperative mood and not in totalitarian. Listen to each and help through all the way. And you will achieve what you want. Then you can sit together and remember how you achieved everything in your life - TOGETHER!!! This is 21 century!!!!

  13. Yeah,Akmal'aka you are absolutely right,it is 21 century, but i'd like to add something! I think,that MEN should be careful and anyway they should hold a small distance with their wifes! NOT to let them become a dominator! Because if they would feel a small weakness from their husbands, they can become ONE!

  14. YES AZIZ I agree with you! I recoomend you guys to watch a film " CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN" It's a comedy about bid family!

  15. SORRY I wanted to whrite "recommend" and "big"!

  16. Wow...,in my opinion of course career is important...however, family is not less important! I think that possible to create good family and find your second part, but it will be not so easy!
    Will be very difficult to find some part of your time for family, if you have very busy work! But, how practic shows that a lot of people Have perfect job and good family!

    For Madina and Aziz.
    I think that wife and husband should be equal and respect each other! And wife also should have some space between husband, and in some cases be independent, because when a man knows that his wife depends on him, he feels power and stops worry about that his wife can say him: buy buy!!!

  17. Irina your "buy buy!!!" it means purchase or bye?If it means bye,I think it`s very stupid. Cuz it can`t be reason to divorce.For example,many years ago almost all uzbek wifes never left their husbands.Cos they were loyal to their husbands.Even if their husbands drink or beat them, they didn`t divorce.Cuz they contemplated about their family and they undergone all life obstacles.
    But nowadays I don`t know why girls so impatient and weak.Girls should realise that men have other problems too.Not only worry about his wife.Men have to provide his family with money.Cuz it`s his duty and it`s not easy!

  18. I think that man is man and he should be little bit higher than his wife? he should be breadwinner! It's stupid that man sits at home and woman works! It doesn't mean that he wouldn't respect his wife! ofcourse they will maintain each other and solve their problems together!
    To AHMAD it's meanness thaN man beat a women to my mind! After that deed he WON'T BE A REAL man!I hate such men and never forgive if somebody beat me!

    ReplyDelete
  19. In my opinion that if a husband respect his wife he will never beat her! And will do all his best to find a job and to make more money! Sometimes a man have proplems but he musn't come off on his wife!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Yeah,you`re right men never beat women.But after drinking men lost control.However what would men do if his wife didn`t obey him? For instance if my wife didn`t get on with my mother I probably would punish her.Sorry but I must do it.
