A profession isn't there for you when you want to get advice on a personal matter from someone who cares. Obviously a career is important but it should be a person's whole life. Besides, a plaque on the wall and a lot of money with no friends at all means you have noone to share any of it with.

If I was in that situation, I would choose my friend over my career. The way I see it, you'll have those friends for as long as you live and can depend upon them, but a job can be lost in a matter of mere moments. So which would be better, having that friend to support you and help get you on your feet, or that lost job with no one to help you? Thats the way I look at it.

in my case, I chose profession..my friends in highschool chose another course. I chose the course that is close to what I love.
