Is the thermal engineering specialty in refinery design institutes such as Zhenhai Institute a supporting specialty? Is there no prospect for development? So frustrating
Whether to proceed in the early stages depends on one’s own capabilities
Promising industries that yield twice the result with half the effort； In industries with no future, one has to work twice as hard for half the results.
Last time, someone seemed to ask the same thing; there is simply no answer to questions like this
I’m about to graduate, and I don’t know much about this industry
It’s natural to feel anxious right after graduating; in fact, it’s hard to predict what the path ahead will hold. You might regret going to a power plant, or you might do very well there – the same goes for design institutes. All I can say for now is that you work at an oil refining design institute, where the main focus is on process piping; thermal engineering is definitely a secondary specialty there.
Thank you. Do you think there’s no room for further development in this field of thermal engineering?
You can’t say that; even the smallest specialties are necessary. It’s good to excel in them, but it depends on whether you’re suitable for such a role and whether you’re willing to take on it. It’s hard to predict what will happen after working for decades. For now, the goal is to determine the general direction – for example, if you work in a design firm, your career path will likely stay within that field. Switching to a power plant or another industry might be difficult; these are different paths. What you need to consider now is choosing a general direction, as it’s impossible to predict exactly how things will develop within that field, as there are too many changes.
What’s comfortable is often without prospects… It’s the tasks that are difficult and unpleasant that force you to grow quickly. There are no useless fields of study; what matters is to strive to improve your skills and be able to handle things on your own
You might think that a certain field is considered important, and it’s necessary for that entire field to come under heavy criticism from clients in order to demonstrate its difficulty; but I doubt anyone would be willing to take the blame for that.
