My opinion
Thread Content
Let me share a bit: My situation is similar; I graduated last year. I just started working at a chemical plant that is still in the early stages of construction. The pay is very low, and my status there is low as well; I feel like I can’t learn anything here, and on top of that I’m treated with disdain! I’m thinking about changing jobs! If the conditions at my current workplace are decent, I would also choose to keep a low profile for now, but it’s no longer possible to get by there; so if not now, then when? If you’re in the same situation, withdraw your people early – there are good opportunities everywhere in the world! Let’s encourage each other! Please forgive any mistakes!

With your limited skills, no one will look up to you. You think learning is like in school, with teachers urging you to learn. This post was last edited by su*ubin on 2009-3-2 18:59 ]
The sky is high for birds to fly, and the sea is vast for fish to leap. The ends of the world are but a short distance away; even the highest mountains cannot surpass my feet. Let me forge ahead on this long journey!
Be cautious in what you say and do. Don’t think that just because you can’t learn certain things or your current status is low, you should give up; that would show a lack of perseverance. If you can’t learn something, don’t assume it’s because the people at your workplace won’t teach you – if they don’t, there are many other ways you can learn. In any case, I don’t agree with the viewpoint expressed by the original poster; no successful person has ever changed jobs casually just because they hadn’t acquired the necessary skills yet!
I’m not quite understanding LZ’s thinking: 1. Graduates start out with a low status, and they’re supposed to be modest. 2. Why would people look at them with disdain? 3. In a newly built chemical plant, there are many opportunities to learn; you might even become one of the key employees there. 4. The salary is low, but it can be made up for in the future ； Without skills, jumping won’t lead to improvement. 5. There is no place where one cannot learn something; when it comes to learning skills, one can’t just rely on intuition. I’m not sure if that’s the right way to put it.
Jump? Who needs you~~ You’re not a recent graduate, nor do you have any work experience. What do you have? Calm down~~~
Starting a project is definitely an opportunity to learn; as long as you are willing to put in the effort, you will surely gain knowledge, much of which cannot be learned from books. Just like coming to the river, if you don’t make an effort, you won’t get all the information you need.
