Salam alikom
I have a few comments to add first:
"seek knowledge even if you have to go as far as china ,for seeking knowledge is a duty on every muslim"
Shaykh al-Albaani(may Allah have mercy on him) said this hadith is fabricated.
"Will I be a good person?will I be able to pursue my ambition and at the same time make my dreams come true?"
In the Quran it says:
Say: "I have no power over any good or harm to myself except as Allah willeth. If I had knowledge of the unseen, I should have multiplied all good, and no evil should have touched me: I am but a warner, and a bringer of glad tidings to those who have faith." Surah Al-aa'raf verse 188
Sister nobody can answer your question only Allah knows the future ,we don't even know what will happen in the next few minutes if we will live or die only Allah knows that.However you can work hard to achieve your dreams and ambitions and inshallah whatever is good for you will happen, and always pray and make Duaa' to Allah (swt).
"How do these women actually have times for both their family and for their career?"
The question that arises to my do mind do they actually have time for both in reality???, we see some hard working women but we don't know what is really going on in their lives!!.Also I think it really depends on the nature of the work the women is doing ,some jobs even if the women tried she will find it difficult to make time for both her family and work.Moreover many times the children of some working women suffer alot ,the suffering does not have to be fiancially but it can be emotionally and sometimes physically!.
We are muslims and islam is our way of life and we should follow its guidelines .
