How is the design industry?
Thread Content
I have been working in a design firm for a year now. I’m not aware of the development prospects in other industries, and I’m very interested in the position of the design industry within the chemical sector. I want to know whether design is indeed an income-generating industry; please share your thoughts
Whether the design industry is a good choice or not is a different concept from whether you can make money in it. The advantage of the design industry is that there are many opportunities to learn, and your ability to acquire new knowledge will keep improving, provided that you maintain the right attitude and study hard, rather than putting money first. The design industry is a service-oriented sector; its performance is highly dependent on the area of design in which work is carried out and on the advancement of the design techniques used. Regardless of their size, what matters most for design companies is whether they possess technical advantages. May the Lord bless you! :handshake
There are some reservations regarding the design industry; it’s hard to say whether it’s good or not, but it is said that one has to learn a lot there. As for the large state-owned design firms, the initial conditions there aren’t very good either – it’s said to be exhausting, and there is no overtime pay.
Whether the treatment is good is one thing, but whether one can learn something is another. Personally, I think it’s worth taking the opportunity to work in a design firm for a while; even if the design industry becomes less competitive in the future, it will still be very beneficial to return to a factory.
It’s no problem to make a living through design work. With the right ability, one can earn a lot of money. If you want to earn more money through design work, then start your own design firm.
In the chemical industry, designers at design firms definitely earn more than those in factories; they also learn more and have more demanding work； However, it is not easy for those working in design firms to get promoted; accumulating knowledge takes time. It might be a good approach to work in a design firm for a while during one’s youth before considering moving to another organization.
I’m not sure about chemical engineering design; architectural design is very exhausting... :(
Becoming a nouveau riche is harder than reaching the sky! ! !
Solving the problem of food and clothing is not difficult! ! !
Working day and night, exhausted to the limit, with no enough food to eat! ! !
Design institutes are originally an industry that generates profits, but it has no direct connection to whether an individual makes money or not.
The design industry teaches more than what you can learn in a chemical plant, in my opinion. I moved from a chemical plant to a design firm; I spent a year in the chemical plant without learning anything, but I acquired a lot of knowledge at the design firm.
I’ve also been working at a design institute for less than a year; I don’t know how good it is there, but I have indeed learned a lot. It was quite exhausting at first, but have you heard this saying: if you don’t want to work at a design institute, you can always go to a construction site – but it becomes difficult to work at a design institute once you’re on a construction site
Personally, I think the design industry requires a high level of independent thinking skills as well as a certain degree of initiative. Regardless of the industry one is in, it is generally the case that rewards correspond to efforts, and compensation is proportional to one’s capabilities. A high-quality design requires consideration of numerous details; what you think of that others haven’t thought of is your skill, which is also the source of your income, and can be considered another essence of design.
It’s really hard to answer this question. China is still in the stage of large-scale industrialization, so the design industry holds considerable potential. As for making money, there used to be an old saying: first-class industries can have third-rate talents, while third-rate industries can also produce first-class talents. It’s not that the design industry is of lower quality; it’s just that when applied here, as long as you do your job well, top talents in any industry are extremely impressive. Ordinary people in the design industry, that is, the typical wage earners, are more or less the same as all wage earners.
The design industry allows you to learn a great deal; if you work hard, your compensation will be good, and this industry will never fall out of fashion!
Whether a design firm makes money depends on how many projects it can secure; the more projects, the more profit it earns. However, it feels like going to a design firm is about learning a bit more – there’s still a lot to learn at a design institute!
I don’t know yet, but during the interview the manager said I need to study hard; this is a great place to learn. Any achievements will only become visible after two years of studying.
