Does career support or kill your family?

Someone wrote to Today: "Are career demands killing marriages in Singapore?"
He pointed out the work-life unbalance issues that are killing marriages.

I agree, and would like to also point out another area of concerns. The over stressing on careers, and therefore academic education had left no time for many since their childhood to acquire necessary and sufficient interpersonal skills, appreciation for family values and ties, and sense of responsibility for the family and society.
