What comes first to you: boyfriend-girlfriend or education?

Question

Can you manage having both?

Answer 1

For me people come first. I love people more than I love education. When I die I wont be regretting that I didn't have a better education. I will however regret that I didn't spend more time with the ones I love.

Answer 2

Education

Answer 3

EDUCATION.
You can manage both definitely, but dont sacrifice education for a guy or you will be expected to sacrifice careers or successes later in life. Women are starting to delay marriage because of the importance of education and are getting farther in life too. You might feel that you get the most happiness from an intimate, loving relationship and this may be true, but dont give up on your own abilities to accomplish your own dreams. Even if you were to become college educated and then decide you want to devote your time to the difficult task of homemaking, then great--- but you want to have something to show for yourself, not just your services to support your husband and his carrer while raising a family.

Answer 4

Education and yes I can manage both.

Answer 5

Education than love

Answer 6

education always comes first. I can manage both

Answer 7

Education. But I've managed two years of college being 300 miles away from my now-fiance.

Answer 8

First of all, age is definately a key factor to this question-

I've been NOT single as long as I can remember.....
In high school, I was the boy crazy one, I had a crush on a new boy every week!!! Sometimes 2!
I used to have a pin that said "so many men, so little time"-

In high school, I wasted more energy on boys,
than I did my studies,,,,
I just wanted to find my prince charming, marry my high school sweetheart, and live happily ever after-ok-i admit,
I was raised on disney movies and I really did think that I was raised in a 'Donna Reed' world,,,,,

However-my sweetheart, says that in school, he never had interest in dating, let alone ever falling in love-
He was to into being a boy-he fished, he hunted,
he helped his mom out at her business, very responsible early on, 2 grown up sisters far away-
He just never cared if it happened-
I lived for it,
I never got my fairytale, high school-dream,
But I can honestly say-I am happy ,content and comfortable,,,,,

But in the end, after all the hell I went through,
I can honestly say, that if you're young,
and you are falling in love, in love, or thinking about looking,
TAKE THINGS SLOW, dont move at warp speed,
Schooling will help pay you,,,,,schooling will get you jobs,
LOVE DON'T PAY THE BILLS BABY!!!!!!!!!

And NEVER EVER find your honey, where you make your money,,,,,,cuz if you were ever to split up-it usually can't remain professional-and will eventaully lead to the demise of one or both of your jobs, in most work places, this is looked down upon...

And one more thing,,,,,
and I am going to say this as sweetly but honestly as I can-
if you are in the age range of 12-22-
you probly won't take my advice anyhow,,,,cuz you already have your mind made up what you want to do,
you just want someone to tell you that it is ok-
and it is OK-but just make sure that you know what your goals are, before you get tangled-
and make sure that HE knows what his goals are,
and when you are getting to know each other,
similar goals, usually lead to more prosperous relationships.
I think often time ppl these days, (maybe in our day too)
Often mistake chemistry/animal attraction, as love,,,,,,
dont dive in just yet,,,,,

just ask yourself how steadfast you are,,,,
are you a good student, if so, do you wish to maintain that level of excellence,,,,,
If you get a boyfriend, you will have another obligation to fulfill, do you feel, morally, mentally, physically up to mixing the two,

is he going to understnad that you have finals to study for and not throw a fit when he wants you to cater the super bowl party...
If it feels right, then do it,,,,,
but if you have any doubts,,,,,
my mom always said,-when in doubt, don't........

I hope this answers the question-
I guess-education should have, but i didn't-
for many reasons actually-
but a boyfriends was always an option,
i like him, i hated homework and tests......

Answer 9

Both. I need love & money at the same time in life. Boyfriend shows me love. Education gives me money. I can handle both because I need them

Answer 10

i don't think of that is cool for them to be careless approximately college the two. i'm not asserting they'd desire to be clever, yet I actually choose to ascertain some motivation and attempt. as an occasion, the boy i'm speaking to now has adhd and enormously plenty hates teachers this is obviously a bad mixture. he's interior the voag application at his college nevertheless and he does great in it and gets stunning grades.. He even has a job bearing directly to voag so he actually has permission to miss college two times a week to paintings. while he graduates he's getting his forester's license and might turn his activity right into a profession, yet he's questioning approximately turning out to be a member of the militia too. What this all tells me is that he's desperate to make some thing of himself and function an truthful living even with the reality that he's not especially clever. I see it as a turn on. So i assume, to respond to your question, guidance is considerable, in spite of the undeniable fact that it would not would desire to be the classic definition. as long as they know some thing actually approximately some thing..
