The path for chemical industry workers! Where is the future?
Thread Content
The chemical industry is a high-risk, toxic and hazardous sector; why are salaries in this field generally lower compared to those in industries like construction? I have been working at a state-owned chemical company in Tianjin since I graduated in 2007! I have worked as an operator, technician, lab technician, equipment manager, etc. (all at the same company), and the salaries in these positions were quite low! Now that I’m married, it seems like there’s not enough money to spend! Planning to return to my hometown, Shijiazhuang! Is there a promising future in working in that area of the chemical industry? I’ve been thinking about what kind of job to pursue in the future! After all, I’m almost 30! If you choose the wrong row again, you won’t have another chance to change it! I hope experienced friends can give some advice! Those who feel the same way, share your life goals! :handshake
In state-owned enterprises, it’s best to be a leader – low risk, high reward. Private companies are generally not very good from top to bottom: the bosses are under a lot of pressure, and the employees are constantly busy. Check with the unit for specifics
That’s right! It’s a shame that I have to move to another place before I can become a leader!
Leadership should also start with being an employee, at least that’s the case in our organization. One has to strive for their own future; nothing comes your way just by chance
Changing jobs carries risks; it is advised that the original poster avoid changing jobs too hastily and instead accumulate experience in the same industry. There are top performers in every field, and the chemical industry is no exception – as long as one has the right skills, it is possible to earn a high salary!
I thought the original poster was from Hefei University of Technology? Right? ?
The chemical industry relies on experience; therefore, college graduates entering this field are at a disadvantage from the start. Your competitors come from all age groups, and they all have more experience and advantages than you do； Well, of course, such treatment is definitely not as good as that in fields like IT and electronics.
Original poster, I graduated in 2010 with a degree in chemical engineering and technology. I’ve worked as a lab technician, an operator, and a designer; currently I’m a designer again. However, I don’t think designing is that great – personally, I find it less satisfactory than working in production. It mainly comes down to the company: it’s important to choose a good one. But the chemical industry in Shijiazhuang is really poor quality. I’m planning to go to Dongying instead
Thank you so much! I just got a design job, but I haven’t started working there yet!
Yes, if you want to do things well, you have to stick around in one place!
