Career transition
Thread Content
Based on my current qualifications, I have an associate degree in petroleum refining technology, and I am currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering processes. . Three years on shift at the factory, plus four years at Jia Shi*; at Jia Shi* I was involved in phosgene conversion, while during those three years on shift I was engaged in alkylation tasks, working with isooctane. I now want to switch to design; I’m seeking advice from experts and seniors – where should I start?
A low educational background is a significant disadvantage for you. If you want to achieve anything in the design industry, you need to have sufficient skills to outperform those who have graduated from top undergraduate or graduate programs; otherwise, it’s not recommended that you switch to this field
Improve your own qualities first. Principles of chemical engineering and CAD are the basics; thereafter, one needs to be proficient in various other tools as well, such as ASPEN, in order to have a chance to compete.
Indeed, these should all be mastered.
Dude, the design industry isn’t as good as you think. Not only is the time required for skill development long – it takes at least 7 years to become proficient in this field – but the overall environment isn’t favorable either. Major design firms mostly hire masters from top universities, and I feel like people in this field could lose their jobs at any moment
. . . With the manufacturing process, there are several issues at the moment. 1. The shift work for this job is a problem; it’s bad for the health, doesn’t match most people’s daily routines, and causes a lot of delays. 2. I find that my technique has quite a few limitations. 3. Most of all, I want to change places.
Bro, where are you located? ?
