About work, and the future. . .

I think I’d better work first; these days it’s not easy to find a job even with a master’s degree

Personally, I think it’s better to pursue a postgraduate degree; after all, a diploma remains the first stepping stone

Thank you to the two people above; is there anyone who can help provide a more in-depth analysis? !

In my opinion, the landlord should be clear about what they are good at; since they have studied engineering, it is ultimately necessary to demonstrate the power of knowledge through practical applications. I’m not sure what type of company the poster is referring to – one that deals with construction or design. If it’s a construction company, I would advise against working there, as recent graduates who join private construction firms often find it difficult at the beginning since there are usually no mentors available, and their role in the company is much lower than that of clients, designers, or supervisors. Besides, working in a design institute is great – it allows one to clearly \"draw\" diagrams, which is far better than pursuing a postgraduate degree. What China lacks are technological innovators from within enterprises; looking at the number of petrochemical process packages we introduce each year should be enough to show that our design work needs improvement.

I think that in such an engineering company, although it’s not large, the smaller size means that there are fewer people, so one can gain a relatively comprehensive understanding of various things – processes, equipment, and so on! Actually, I’d really like to go, if I wasn’t planning to take the postgraduate entrance exam!

It’s not easy these days to find a good job; while you still have the time and energy, it’s better to pursue further studies. By the time you graduate, the financial crisis might have completely passed, and there will be much more room for growth at that point!

If there’s no financial pressure, I think it’s better to pursue a master’s degree; after all, graduates with a master’s degree start off at a higher level than those with only a bachelor’s degree

Thank you, friend~! The engineering company in question is in the design field, and it mainly works in collaboration with several large design institutes. Projects that are extremely large certainly need to be taken on by **top-tier design institutes, as they have extensive networks, which allows them to work on some of these projects as well! After all, it hasn’t been long since they started working; at this age, they should have reached middle or even senior management positions. But now they have resigned to work on their own, and due to work-related needs, they invite experienced professionals from design firms to provide guidance! They said the salary is around 2,000 to 3,000. But I really want to pursue a postgraduate degree; I didn’t pass any of the individual subjects this year, and I’m still very dissatisfied! I used to think that one had to choose between the two paths, but now I’m really at this crossroads and don’t know how to decide!

This year, someone in our class signed up for chemical engineering – haha, it’s a program in Southeast Asia. . But he was admitted to graduate school. . Although there is no financial pressure, at this age one should be able to support oneself; how can one feel comfortable relying on their parents? .

The economy is poor these days, and it’s hard to find a job; pursuing a master’s degree is a good way to avoid risks

It is recommended to go to a design engineering company, as you will definitely learn more there than you would in graduate school. Start with drawing; take your time. If you want to take the postgraduate entrance exam, aim for a top university abroad. Otherwise, it’s very boring.

It’s not easy to find a job after graduating with a master’s degree either; it would be even better if one could land a good job.

Taking the postgraduate entrance exam is a good idea! It would also be ideal if the workplace is good.

Society is like a good university; spending three years developing oneself in society is far better than doing so in school. These days, most undergraduates end up working for people who haven’t even graduated from high school.

Thank you, friends upstairs! It seems this issue still relates to work and postgraduate entrance exams. . So, just considering this job opportunity alone? Is it worth going? . . Thank you again!

May I ask which school Levisttp is specifically in? We also study chemical engineering machinery.

One can work first and then pursue an on-the-job graduate degree

I think it’s better to work first. These days, it’s not easy to find a job as a graduate student. To put it bluntly, there are many graduates who work in design firms and can’t even understand the bends shown in piping diagrams. After all, in engineering fields, without practical experience, all theoretical knowledge is just empty talk...

The poster is a very thoughtful young person. Young people are not afraid of facing difficulties, nor are they afraid of having to make choices. The fear is having no ideas at all! It seems the original poster comes from a fairly well-off family. So, with both the idea and the conditions, no matter which of these two options you choose, I believe you’ll be able to handle it well. In this case, it is most important to analyze one’s own strengths and interests and make choices based on them.

We need to analyze whether that female classmate is interested in you as well^_^
