"Is it OK to be career orinted?"

The first answer that would come to the mind of anyone answering that question would be "of course", "why not?" !
now let me re-structure that question! " is it OK to be career orinted when you are 30, are married, contemplating whether to have a baby or not... to the extent that you might have to relocate for better opportunities....and the fact that you are a woman?"
I am not sure how many responses will remian what it was! Of late, I have seen the trend where couples are staying apart for the sake of a job, career move etc! and its mostly the man moving away becasue the wife has to stick to the place and look after the house and kids and parents and stuff! And its absolutely OK! In fact, why not if he is getting something better even if it means to be away from home!
Not that I am a die hard feminist...but are we ready for the scene being altered ? Can we accept the change in the picture where the man stays back and lets the woman follow her aspirations and dreams? For most men, I am sure its a "No", though not many will admit.
These days this arrangement is not unheard of! I have read about many women who have taken a stand to pursue their career and they are doing it!
My confusion here is...what is the price one pays to go ahead to live your dream? Is it fair on the partner/spouse? Is it OK to be self oriented and go out and DO IT ?
One school of thought could say...when does it end? or where does it end? aspirations & dreams keep increasing with every step of the ladder you climb ! When do you stop?
I have a feeling that there comes a time, when your priorities change and the shift in thought brings about the change in the hunger for more! I think there comes a time, when you say... "Enough, now I want to enjoy what I have earned... !"

But what if it takes 10 or 15 years for that shift?
