Job of my dreams, or boy of my dreams?
So here's the deal
I am completely and totally in love with my current boyfriend. We've pretty much planned our entire lives together and I'm the happiest i think i've ever been.
There is a downside to this plan though, i want to go to university and get a degree in fashion. My apsoloute dream is to be a fashion designer, or to do fashion journalism.
The job itself involves some travelling, but on top of that my boyfriend wants to be an engineer. He's doing an apprentiship or going to sixth form as a last resort. And he really dosen't want to go to university.
I really think that when we live together, me being a student and not really being able to contribute to the rent, as well as my student antics will tip him over the edge. He's not a party person. But socialising and partying is all part of the university experience, so i know that i will party hard. Which may annoy him.
I'm really torn between weather i should persue this dream, or to stay with him and get a job to fund the rest of our lives together. So i suppose my questions are this:
What shall i do?
Is it possible to maintain a relationship whilst you're in university?
Could i possibly do something like an apprentiship, or internship instead .. are they any good?
Please help.

Let your boyfriend know that you love him with all your heart, and then go to the university and get your career started. You have to be free to be yourself and follow your dreams, and if another person won't give you that freedom, then he will probably be selfish and controlling after you're married, and you will end up living a nightmare.
Freedom to be yourself and follow your own path is one of the most important gifts a person can have!

Follow your dream job, forget about the boy. Be happy in what you do, it will be better for you in the long run, love is very strange and can turn out to be not so good. Go for the job, if your love is meant to be it will it will happen even with the job.
