It is important to develop career before starting a family Nowadays people changed their minds about priorities in their lives. It is connected with development of economic level of living, government support of human rights and difficulties to find a job. I would like to have children in the future but I agree that it is necessary to develop career before because you have to be prepared to such an important step. First and foremost, you must be mature and independent enough in economic way to have your own family. It means having your own home and a good salary which is possible only if you succeed in career. Of course, you can rely on your family if it is well-off, however, for mother there will be no way to develop career earlier than her child will be studying at school since she has so many chores. Furthermore, the older you get the more difficult it is for you to start a new activity. What is also important is that not everyone wants children. The reasons (reasons not to have children) might be different. For example, they found out another aim in their lives and want to spend it whole on the thing they like. Sometimes people feel they are not patient and experienced enough to take the responsibility for somebody's life yet. Therefore, career choice is the best for such types of people. All in all, the number of people who prefer developing their career to starting a family is growing in developed countries, but it does not mean they deny the fact family is important. It only shows that people are becoming more confident in growing children and creating strong relationships. 8/10
