This question is to define the majority’s perception of the minority. Please answer within the bounds of the question unless expanding on a point.
You are presented with a choice, you have no other options and there is no way to back out once the choice is made.
Choice 1:
You can be highly skilled and able at a particular task or job i.e. Finance . You are given a great interest in this field and it is all that you can think and talk about in most cases. This ability gives you the ability to get and hold a good, well paid job and live comfortably (financially) forever more.
The catch is that this trade requires you to give up all of your social skills, you can only connect with others on a very basic plutonic way at best. You can never marry and must live alone forever, but at the same time understand what you are missing out on to have this great ability. You are guaranteed to die alone unmourned by any but siblings and extended family.
Choice 2:
You can give up your higher level skills and settle for a menial life and low paid job where you have to scrimp and save for every penny.
The up side is that you are given great social skills and are guaranteed to find the 'love of your life' and have a happy future with them. You have a few great kids and share in there lives, before dieing an old happy person loved by all and mourned by everyone.
Which one would you choose and why?
Thanks in advance.

If I had to choose between career & love or money & love or however you want to put it, love always wins. All the money in the world doesn't matter if you don't have love.
But if we're lucky, we don't have to choose. We can find a way to compromise & have both.

I would take the 3rd Choice (life has unlimited possibilites)
And follow my dream no matter where it took me. You'll find that the one's who are in businesses who they enjoy what they do so much that they'd do it for free, have so much passion and drive that they tend to be really extraordinarily well at what they do, and thus get very high pay. And even if it doesn't pay well, what's the price of waking up everyday happy that you're getting the most out of life?

1- I am very much this way and people resent the fact that they don't get to love me. I on the other hand would love to go through life not knowing I am not responsible for other peoples emotional well being.

Choice 2. You only get one life and I would be ****** if I'm going to waste it making money when I have no love or kids to spend it with.

This ultimatum is lame. Obviously the second one is better.
Here's a different question:
Would you rather be a charming, lovable idiot, or a genius with no sense of humour and who nobody likes??

Duh.....Love!!!! That's my life now and i wouldn't change it for anything. I don't have a great job but it pays the bills and that's all anyone of us need.
