Love vs Career

Hypothetically, if you had to choose between falling in love or working in your dream career, which one would you pick?

Personally, I think I would pick career.

Some might ask: What is the point of success if you have nobody to share it with?
Which is a valid question, I admit. To which I would reply: What is the point of being in love when you have nothing to share with them?

This whole situation is a catch 22. So obviously there is no answer that is right or wrong, cut and dry.
You can't survive off love and good intentions alone, you are going to need money. What is the point of being in love when you can't take your partner out to a nice restaurant, buy a place of your own and  start up and support your own family?

The again, what is the point of success when you don't have anybody to share it with?
I don't know. Maybe I am coming off as too much as somebody who is money hungry and anti-love but that isn't the case. We need money to pay my bills and put it towards things we want to do. I don't see the bank being understanding when I go in there and pay off money I owe with a love note from a sweet heart.

I asked this question on my twitter account and I seem to have given off the impression that I am asking people to choice between love and being rich. Now, I'm not saying I'd choose career so then I earn millions of dollars and live in a huge house with five luxury cars in the drive way, although that would be nice.

What I am saying is that I think I'd choose my dream career. If I was to end up making millions of dollars from it that would be great but honestly knowing that I could go wake up each morning and do something that I am so passionate about and make a some sort of living out of it- I'd grab that chance.
