The development prospects of polymer materials
Thread Content
I am a graduate from 2007 and I currently work at a PVC company. When I started there, my boss asked me to change fields of work; at first I was involved in research and development, and now I do CAD design, but I still really want to work in the field of materials! I want to take the postgraduate entrance exam and then change jobs! But I see that the compensation for PVC in our company is very low, and I’m hesitating about whether I should still work in such an industry in the future How are everyone doing? Could you talk about your own experiences?
The future for those working in polymer science is very good; it can be said to be extremely promising. But every industry has its particularities. Like traditional Chinese medicine, this field relies far more on experience than on academic qualifications. Many problems in polymer applications cannot be solved through theory, and formula design requires much more experience than theory does; it is very difficult for any graduate to develop formulas suitable for production, even if they are doctors. The process of acquiring practical experience is far more difficult than learning theory. It’s very difficult to go further down this path. In reality, the salary for working on formula design in companies is very high. It is very difficult for any company to deliberately train someone to become an expert in formula design; such talent is hard to come by. Some people deny this truth. I admit that in universities, research institutions, and large companies, highly educated individuals with a solid theoretical foundation can show what they’re capable of, but how many of them truly possess high levels of expertise? This is why the rate of translating achievements into practical applications is low in universities and research institutions. Not practical. What most companies want is low cost, high performance, fast R&D, low investment, and quick returns. This can only be done with extensive experience.

:Lol, anyone can be good at something – the key is whether you like doing it; it takes effort to do well in many areas
One’s own interests are the most important
I work in formula design and really enjoy it. After reading what was said on the second floor, I know I need to work harder from now on
What most companies want is low cost, high performance, fast R&D, low investment, and quick returns. This statement is very practical. A doctor from our company just left, and success in life comes from gradual accumulation
There’s nothing wrong with learning more while you’re young; try out different paths
Whether it’s research, sales, or working in manufacturing processes, the field of polymers offers great prospects! Believe in your own choices! ! ! :D
Opportunities always come to those who are prepared. Learning is a form of accumulation, and it is the preparation necessary to face opportunities. If you study *polymers, it is also to prepare yourself for seizing opportunities.
It’s said that it’s hard for college graduates to find jobs these days. After reading what the original poster said, I feel even more uncertain about my future. But I think that as long as one learns useful skills and works hard, they will surely be able to carve out a niche for themselves
For domestic polymer companies, experience is more important than theoretical knowledge. Even without a university degree, it is still possible to become an expert in this field. It seems that abroad, more emphasis is placed on theoretical research.
