Looking for career should be more imp than lkg after parents becoz after a certain point in time it is your carrier and life that matters to you the most.

That can be a tough decision to make. Sometimes it can depend on how good your relationship is with your parents. You can still work on developing your career and support your parents. It really depends on your situation and what you are trying to achieve. ~Management Consulting Services: www.CEOBusinessManagementSolutions.com

OF COURSE, TAKING CARE OF PARENTS IS PRIMARY ROLE IN ONE'S LIFE, BUT WITHOUT ANY STABILITY IN TERMS OF CAREER DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE. FIRST ONE HAS TO PROVE HIMSELF/HERSELF, AS WHAT HE/SHE IS IN THE WORLD WHEN IT COMES TO CAREER.... AS IT IS ONLY A CAREER THAT MAKES YOU STAND OUT FROM THE REST OF THE CROWD.
MAJORITY OF PARENTS WANT A SON/DAUGHTER WITH GOOD CAREER AND TO LOOK AFTER THEM TOO, SINCE LIVING IN A SOCIETY IS NOT EVERYTHING, IN SOCIETY PRESTIGE, STATUS AND GOOD FAMILY BACKGROUND ALL THESE THINGS MATTER A LOT FOR A FAMILY AND THIS CAN BE POSSIBLE ONLY THROUGH THEIR CHILD BY OPTING FOR A GOOD CAREER, TAKING APPROPRIATE STEPS TOWARDS HIS/HER CAREER. HAVING A SENSE TO TAKE CARE OF PARENTS IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SOME EXTENT, BUT WHAT ABOUT CAREER, WITHOUT CAREER MANY PEOPLE FACE UNPREDICTABLE SITUATIONS.....
THEREFORE, CAREER IS MUST TO SERVE PARENTS. THANKS

your priority should be given to your career because this is what your parents have expectation from you and once you settle then you can take care of your parents.

Good topic... As per my concern both are important in our life. We need to concern about our carrier which is important in our life and at the same time we need to look after our parents also. Because in their old age we are the only who can look after in better. They don't like money, they want your love. By giving your attention you can get moral support in your day to day busy life which is more important. To look after our parents we cannot avoid our carrier, parent also not allowed doing this as they like you. In other hand to look after our carrier we should not forget our parents sacrifice and love. And most important we should not leave them whenever they were old. My suggestion is we should try to reduce the distance between us. Is not it.

I feel its too personal. Still let me bring about my own experience. When I was in ICICI Bank I met across a person who suggested me to quit my home town immediately and shift to places like Delhi, Mumbai etc where I could earn good and also send sufficient money back home which could cater all material requirements.Whereas being at home town I was only serving as physical satisfaction that their son is with them. I know very well money may many things but not everything in life, still staying far off for may be some time keeps you updated, wanted for any new job assignment.

I think one extra choice must be there that go outside with parents, make Carrier live your life as you want.... but take your parents with you. Our parents doesn't need money they just want love from us and by taking them with us they will also get some change, but after taking them outside it is our duty to give them time. Otherwise all we had done will get wasted.. so that i am arguing both side that take parents where ever you go..

I am writting this because I took this option. I had to struggle for two more years. But after that, what i am today has made me realise I did the right thing. Its not "How much money one can make" Its about "How happy he is after making that money" My mom is sleeping in the next room, assured that her daughter is safe and I am sitting and writting this assured my mom is sleeping well. Would not have been, If I would have chosen the other path.

Both are important. To look after your parents you do not have to leave your job. Instead take your parents to the residence near your work place. Let them live with you there. I do not think they will be a hindrance for your good career anytime. Regards, Anna George. Web Analyst. Nichepro Technologies. Bangalore. http://www.nichesuite.com

Partha you may ask the question as"which is more important in life,look for only career for which you may have to go out side or look after parents in there old age leave career target aside" Now the answer of mine is leave career target aside for looking parents in there old age. First we have to make clear that once earn money not only for maintaining himself but also maintain all his/her family members.In all HOLY book and everyone now that parents are the supreme GOD in our life who brought us in the holy world and help us to stand in our own feet.We must look for the career but not leaving the parents.In career life there is no maximum limit so if once think that after reaching there target they will take there parents with them and look after then then it is a day dream.You must have to earn money for better maintenance of your family(parents and others) but for money we can not leave parents.

look for parents in the old age and leave the career a side because childhood age and old days are the same. at the time of your childhood age your parents sacrifice their career for your career so that you will able to stand in the socity proudly. now the days come to gives the proud to your parents in the society that they are the parents of mine.

Looking after the parent who needs you the most in old age is far important than just looking for one's own personal growth. One can avoid gng abroad/bigger state for growth and work at a convenient place but should not avoid his/her parents in old age.

Choosing career over parents would be too selfish on our part. While one may get another career opportunity, the opportunity to take care of your parents does not come again and again. Neither can get other parents. I am one of those privileged who had the opportunity to take care of my bedridden father for 3+ years. During this period I lost a few good career opportunities - where I could have got higher package and higher position. But I could not have got another father. I have no regrets for what I have missed. I will die with the contentment that I took care of my father. It is true that parents' blessings do not go waste. We can't return to our parents what they have sacrificed for us. Believe me, I have progressed well within a year of my father's demise. My late parents' blessings are always with me and give me the strength to live without fear.

Parents what they expect from you is "a little hug" at the vag end of their life. They have sacrificed their lives for our career and better future.. So it is our moral responsibility to look after them. For that you need not lose your career. Spare few minutes and share with them ,that is what they expect from us. They don't need any physical comforts.But this is the age of material and materialistic world. LOVE Flows from higher generations to lower generations (like a river)but not from lower generation to higher.Thanks for the referral.

In your life you have build up your position with the help of parents. they have given morale support, financial support,all required help in making your career and never say that look after them. However it is duty of a son or daughter also to take care of them without asking him to you. As you get everything but not a love of your parents again. you shall think thrice for this and take a decision. You can discuss the matter with them as and when needed.

Even though both are important,but looking after parents in their old age is much more preferable option because,tomorrow we will also be in the same boat,life's needs are simple,we can live happily if we concentrate on the little joys of life,rather than run after the BIG ones.To see the joy on the face of your loved ones,parents/kids is a by far the better option,any day.

am surprised to see so many thumbs up for career.Just ask youself where would u be if ur parents had just given birth to you and went on their ways pursuing their career instead of taking care of you. God has a plan for everyone at everytime. Even if you loose a good career opportunity as against being with your parents, its worth it. you got the entire life to make your career but the stay with your parents is very short. So enjoy every bit as long as you can...

Both things can't be happened at same time. You have to make one choice, either you can stay with your parents & do a job of low profile OR look for a career & appoint one of your relartive to take care of your old age parents. As you can't fulfill both at a same time, hence choose with heart & stay with parent OR Choose with brain & go for career. Thanks for referral, Sheetal
