I’m not young anymore; I was born in 1980. I currently work for a large company where my salary is decent, but the work is extremely demanding – I have to work three shifts a day with no days off, 365 days a year. Apart from time off for leave, I hardly have any free time. Moreover, since I’m not good at interacting with people, my relationship with my supervisors is poor. I studied chemical engineering, but that skillset isn’t really useful here as the work mainly involves physical labor. I wonder if pursuing further studies could help improve my situation; I would appreciate any advice you can give

A mismatch in majors is just one aspect. To succeed in life, interpersonal relationships are very important; of course, competence is the most crucial factor. Those who believe in reality must rely on their own abilities to earn the recognition of their leaders. When it comes to hard work, every industry is tough. Those of us in the construction industry are often away from home all year round, and we frequently work overtime at night as well. It ultimately depends on you personally; if you feel you really can’t go on and are not happy at work, then change your environment. Taking the postgraduate entrance exam is just one of the options. The key is to improve oneself.

One lives to be happy; if the environment around one doesn’t make one feel comfortable, there’s no need to force oneself. One lives for themselves, and only by living well can one bring happiness to others. Learn what needs to be learned, and then find another path – while one is still young~~

These days, graduate students are not as valuable as experienced workers. If one is studying chemical engineering, they should find a chemical plant where they can gain practical experience over three years. It’s easy to find a job in the chemical industry these days; what matters most is having the necessary skills. If you can’t live a humane life, you’re good for nothing anywhere.

What was said upstairs makes sense; without skills and the ability to take action, one can get nowhere. It seems to me that the issue with the original poster isn’t a lack of skill in handling interpersonal relationships, nor is it a mismatch in their field of expertise. Instead, they forgot their proper role and failed to maintain their correct position. You have a university degree, and after working for such a long time you’re still doing physical labor, which shows that you haven’t used your knowledge to improve the work in the factory. You either haven’t taken the time to properly understand the tasks you’re performing, or you haven’t done them properly at all. That’s why your supervisors don’t see your value; you simply haven’t shown it. Thus, the reason for your problem is clear. The solution to this problem is simple: focus on your job, be diligent and responsible in your tasks, learn more about the advanced technologies in your industry, and come up with more ways to solve production problems. By doing your work better than others, you will be able to demonstrate your value. Any leader, whether at the grassroots level, middle management, or senior level, will not refrain from using people who are already available, unless you yourself don’t want to be used by others. In conclusion, change yourself, starting with your own work.

One should be content and happy; just live a good life. There’s no need to keep forcing oneself to do things against one’s will. Why worry about what others do?

In the owner’s situation, it’s impossible not to feel depressed. But your biggest problem, OP, is communication; without communication, there are no interpersonal relationships. Without interpersonal relationships, it means that’s all there is for you, buddy. We often complain about the lack of people who can recognize talent, but how can we know if we ourselves don’t act as such recognizers? Therefore, the landlord needs to learn how to communicate; good communication is the foundation for building relationships.
