I want to change careers from chemical engineering operations; I don’t know what to do
Thread Content
Hello everyone. I am a graduate from a junior college, having graduated in June 2009, majoring in chemical engineering processes. After graduation, I started working in a chemical company on shift duties; I have been doing this for over a year now, handling chemical operations. The salary isn’t high, and working on shifts is very exhausting – it’s tough on the body. Moreover, the products we produce can cause serious harm to health, and long-term exposure can also affect fertility. I plan to change careers at the beginning of next year. Right now, I feel very empty and lost; chemical engineering really isn’t right for me. I hope experts and teachers can give me some advice. Since I’m still working, what should I learn and prepare? This way, I’ll be better prepared for a career change later on. But right now, I don’t know which direction to take. I’m really confused. Please give me some suggestions :(
If you want to change careers, you might consider pursuing a graduate degree; since you don’t want to work in the chemical industry, you can completely step away from that field. If you don’t want to pursue postgraduate studies, then consider gaining some experience; you could work in design or take up a technical role at another company. If that doesn’t work either, then start your own business or try something new, starting from scratch! ! ! Go ahead!
Working in the chemical industry is very exhausting; it’s tiring to work shifts when you’re young, and it’s stressful to hold leadership positions as you get older. But behind that success lies unimaginable effort. In the chemical industry today, the most promising areas for development are design and safety; in both cases, it is necessary to obtain relevant certificates. Wishing you success!
Taking the postgraduate entrance exam is a good option; one could also learn some analysis skills and work on experimental analysis
The friends upstairs are blindly supporting the original poster in pursuing a postgraduate degree. Has the original poster ever thought about what job they will do after graduating? They need to consider their own circumstances carefully. I believe that talent and excellence can be found in any field. There is no job that is both easy and profitable, unless you can benefit from the advantages of your parents’ generation. It seems like seeing others make a lot of money easily. Have you ever thought that while you are resting, others might be creating opportunities for their own better development? It doesn’t matter if there are many opportunities in that city; those with ideas and abilities can find opportunities anywhere. However, people should also learn to be grateful and to cherish things. Appreciate what you have now, and be grateful to those who have helped you. If you just keep sighing and complaining about work and life, I think you’ll surely not be living well either.
What was said on the 3rd floor makes sense: design and safety. .
Reply to 2# yy1007: Thank you for your suggestion; I really appreciate it, :) I wish you success in your work and career as well
Reply to 4# Kind Cat: I don’t like doing experiments, and I have no interest in working in the chemical industry. Is it too late to take the postgraduate entrance exam? Is it difficult to pass?
Hehe, we’re all the same! I think doing my current job well is the most important thing! No job is easy to do! Money is hard-earned!
Reply to 5# kingsprine: Thank you to the original poster; what you said is great. I really should think it over carefully. To be honest, even after pursuing a master’s degree, it’s still uncertain what will happen when it comes to finding a job. After all, we can’t afford to waste our youth. I’m grateful for your advice, and I wish you success in your career, smooth work, and good health :)
