I have always put my career first, I am not that interested in having kids, and I work 12 hours a day...i love my job and my industry. My boyf does eventually want kids, he works exactly 40 hours a week, no overtime, but makes a lot more money than I do. He thinks that if we get married, because he makes more money, we should nurture his career first, if that requires moving, etc. I find this decision difficult because even though he does make more money, I have very high career goals that I want to achieve and my view is that since he clocks out right at 8 hours a day, never overtime, that he does not care as much about his job as I do. I do not think that I will ever make more money than he does. I am not sure what to do! I would hate being a stay at home mom, that is just not me! I would love it if he would be a stay at home dad and I could keep working my 50-60 hour work weeks. How does a couple of very career minded people make it work??
