Seeing as I am still relatively young, I'd pick my career over love. What is the point of love if at some point in your relationship, strain due to lack of money will start to show. Remember we live in a very money driven world these days.
And I'm sure if it is true love, she'd understand and support me as I would her.

This is an interesting question and not always easy to answer.

This one is spot on though and I think should be the case for everyone especially those who are young and just beginning to establish themselves in the world:

I will choose career above love because if I get a good career definitely I will be able to sustain any love through the success from my career.

I would chose love. Because it is hard to find. No, I have never been in such a situation before.

Career hands-down, no contest. I love my career. It's not just a job, but an entire way of life that I've worked at since I was a kid. It feeds me and I could never give it up. If I was ever in the situation where love came along and that person asked me to give that up, completely, for them, and I could never do it again for the rest of my life? I hope I never find myself in that situation, because I'd have to pass.

I have not been subjected to such choice but i think i will go for my career. I am not a loving type, moreover the lover in concern may leave you if he or she finds her self in your shoes.

Definitely love. With love all things are possible...success, peace of mind, joy, happiness and faith. We could have a fabulous rewarding career but a void would surely exist if there was no person to share it with in love.

A career without love can be boring, there must be love in the background to keep the career going in the face of inevitable challenges. Love supercedes!
