I rather choose family because when things don't go so well in my life, I have my family there to help me out. How about everyone else?

Education is nothing compared to family.

If it weren't for my family I might not even be getting the education I'm currently pursuing. I really owe a lot to them and they will always be the most important thing in my life. However, that doesn't mean being successful in a more career-oriented manner takes a backseat :P

What a strange question. Why did you decide that these 2 things were somehow mutually exclusive or in conflict?thegerg

My thoughts exactly.

Because I'm asking people to see which one of the two are more important in terms of something that's more valuable for them. Anyways, what does conflict have to do with this simple question?

So if someone asked you which pet you wanted: a dog or a rock. You would pick the rock, because hey, the dog could die, right?

Family can be taken away, knowledge cannot.sSubZerOo

Knowledge can be taken away, brain injury, mental sickness, and whose going to change your diapers if any of these things happen to you, you're family. Remember that everything can be taken away even knowledge.

I don't think I'd want to live and have a family caring for me if I needed my diapers changed...

Family. You can always get education from anything and everything. Like I stopped going to school to help take care of my family, but over that time I was still able to get education and learn things from everyday life, jobs, reading, etc, etc. Family is more important hands down.

I'll stick with money: with money, you can hand-pick your own family AND afford a decent education. Win/win.

Maybe to some, not to me because I don't think a rock is as important as a dog... Certainly the rock would make a good door stop. :P

Bad analogy. A rock is practically worthless and has almost no utility. It's also so common that you would gain pretty much nothing from such a decision. A good education on the other hand is an opportunity that most people don't even get a chance at having, and one that can improve your quality of life and future outlook greatly.

Education but they are all pretty close. The thing with family is that if they die or just stop talking to you you are left on your own. While education can last forever and besides. You can always earn your family's love again, they are...family after all

Family, but education is super duper important and should never be neglected except in the most extreme of circumstances.

In most cases, family. However, I'd say education if a family is evil and one wants to break away.

I think family versus career might have been a better suited question, since people often do have to choose one over the other.
