Just posting this to increase my visibility, hehe. Dear classmates, is the job you are currently doing something you are interested in? How can one effectively combine their interests with their work? Please feel free to share your thoughts and opinions! There are rewards available. Let me start by sharing my own experience: I majored in mechanical manufacturing, but I currently work in chemical engineering, dealing with design and installation tasks. What I’m most interested in, however, is literature. As a result, I often find my work boring – there’s no excitement like that found in martial arts stories, nor any romantic entanglements like those in love stories. But work is needed to make a living, so even if I’m dissatisfied, I have to endure it and do my job properly. Either do the job well or don’t do it at all. I’m constantly trying to find a balance and control myself; if I stop trying to do that one day, I might go crazy........
Just by looking at your display, it’s clear you’re a fan of wuxia novels, hehe. I had noticed you before; it’s mainly because your display is quite nice. For the new year, my only goal is to make money so that I can buy a house. Those without a house are picked on, while those with a house can pick freely; I want to experience what it’s like to be able to pick freely, haha·
I’m taking an SF slot, hehe. My major is chemical engineering, and I currently work in the oil refining sector. As for hobbies, they’re quite varied; I just don’t like the chemical industry, haha. But these days, reading relevant materials every day seems pretty interesting to me, and I’m gradually starting to like this industry, though only a little bit. Whether one likes it or not depends on their ability to adjust. As the original poster said, as you start working, you become more realistic – food, clothing, shelter, and transportation are all very important.
Haha, idealistic friend. First throw away your ideals, then smooth out your edges; earn enough money to cover your expenses first, so that you can live freely once you’re well-fed.
I agree with what was said above; it’s a shame to give up on one’s ideals. I’m very interested in my major in chemical engineering, especially after meeting Haichuan! ~ I won’t throw it away
It’s really sad when one turns their hobby into their profession. You end up working on that hobby all day long. Of course, a hobby is not the same as the kind of work one enjoys doing.
I’ll get used to it gradually; I’ll be fine.
I study chemical engineering and have also worked in process-related fields; sometimes there is complementarity between them, so there’s a lot to learn. I think it’s okay; I’ll just make do with it.
With one’s own efforts, dreams can surely become reality!:hug:
It’s obvious that you are a person with unique ideals and a distinct taste. I really feel like a person who has lost themselves; I don’t know what I still like, all I know is working all day and resting after work. Besides, there’s no time to think about this. Really find some time to think carefully about it – why exactly is this being done? What is the purpose of human beings coming into this world? For whom am I working hard? Why are you so busy? Don’t laugh at me, OP; I actually have to thank you!
Hehe, I’ll write it down too. Actually, I like literature too. I really enjoy making a cup of plain tea, picking up a good book, and letting my mind wander through the world – it’s an incredibly pleasant experience. It’s a pity that I’m now working in the chemical industry. However, survival comes first. Only by resolving this fundamental issue can there be better opportunities to develop one’s hobbies
:Lol, let me say something too: We study chemical engineering, but we’ve never actually done any engineering work; we spend our time keeping records. Now they want us to take on technical management tasks. As for work, I believe that people eat in order to live, but they don’t live just to eat. Oh right, one more thing: We work to live a better life. However, this goal is quite difficult to achieve. :lol
I studied chemical engineering, but I end up working in oil refining; there was no choice but to adapt, and gradually I got the hang of it, because if I didn’t do well, I wouldn’t have a job. Over time, I was forced to take on work that had nothing to do with my field of expertise, so I had to learn as I went, letting my feelings guide me through the work. Since we’re not the bosses, we can’t control our own situations; when we can’t make any changes, the only option is to adapt. The majors that can be learned are also gradually being worn away by time. . . .
Personally, having grown up this way, I haven’t read many novels; perhaps I haven’t experienced that pleasure firsthand, or maybe it’s because I’ve always focused on theoretical studies. That’s why I am still interested in the work I do now. Sometimes I think this might be my career for life, but who knows what the future holds? At first, I thought chemistry was really boring, but after getting involved in design, I gradually realized that it could be quite fulfilling at times; it’s maybe similar to the feeling a writer gets when completing one of their works. In any case, I feel satisfied and try to live a happy life. After all, we only have a few decades to live, and happiness is very important. . . .
I majored in chemical engineering, have also worked in process-related fields, and have been involved in production management for over a decade; sometimes there is complementarity between these areas, allowing us to learn from one another. I think it’s okay for now; I still need to work hard.
I wonder to what extent the original poster is passionate about literature; do they also publish articles? Or unleash your creativity on a blog? I really envy your hobbies; I get headaches whenever I try to write something. Actually, I was quite good at writing essays when I was younger, but unfortunately I’ve become more and more lazy these days. Your hobbies and work complement each other well! These days, at most I read novels, but I often can’t keep going. I studied chemical engineering, but I’ve never been involved in design work; I have worked as a process technology support engineer, and currently I am engaged in project management. My tasks are quite varied. I now feel that women aren’t really suited for engineering work, though it might also be due to personal factors: loveliness:. I wonder what the other ladies think?
Hehe, sometimes there is a big gap between ideals and reality. Try to change yourself so that your ideals can be realized sooner
Year after year, I do the same work; I graduated in thermal engineering and still carry out the same tasks related to thermal engineering design. My income is sufficient, but the value of my work is decreasing steadily. Now I’m just waiting to retire
I studied chemistry education, and now I work in a chemical plant as a process engineer. I really like my job and am very enthusiastic about it. In the new year, I will work even harder to do my duties well and reach new heights.
My hobby is sports; I can play football, table tennis, basketball, and badminton. Although I’m not very good at them. My job is in industrial design, and I really like it. Especially when it comes to archiving files, I always feel a sense of achievement
Do your job well, follow your own path and let others talk!
