Chemical Engineering and Technology
Thread Content
I am a graduate in Chemical Engineering and Technology, and I have been working for one and a half years now. Sometimes I think about changing jobs; I still want to work in design, because I get allergic to work related to production. But in my case, I don’t know what kind of company I should look for to work at. After checking around, I feel that it’s not easy to find jobs in this field. Could someone give me some advice and tell me in which direction I should pursue my career?
You’re a girl, right? You could consider pursuing a postgraduate degree
Support girls in pursuing postgraduate studies! Regardless of the quality of postgraduate students, having a diploma is still sufficient in China. Talent standards with Chinese characteristics!
Take the postgraduate entrance exam and then join a design institute; it’s not necessary to go to a large one – any institute that will accept you will do. :)
It’s a wrong choice for girls to work in the chemical industry; choosing to work in a chemical manufacturing company is an even bigger mistake
Go to an engineering design firm; it’s fine to start working at smaller or medium-sized firms after graduating with a bachelor’s degree. It’s quite good for women to work in engineering design firms :)
One of my female classmates said it’s stupid for girls to study chemistry, and that it’s criminal for chemistry departments to recruit girls. Wow……
Reply to 7# Xiaoxiao Yushui: It’s foolish for your classmate to hold such views; saying things like that to manipulate the public is a criminal act, really~~~~
I think it’s a mistake for girls to study chemical engineering and technology, because chemical companies are reluctant to hire women for jobs in this field, unless they work in areas that are somewhat related but not exactly the same; however, the salaries in such roles are usually low, except for those in sales! Also, if it’s a field that requires specialized skills, such as research and development, will rushing to get married before that affect the children? As for working in a design firm, generally there’s no problem in getting hired there
Sigh, I feel the same way – I chose this major out of stupidity back then. The discrimination based on gender is really obvious. I know I don’t have the strength to operate valves or anything like that, but why wasn’t I told about this back then? . . I’m not good at my major, and I don’t want to take the postgraduate entrance exam either. I work in a design firm now, but it doesn’t seem very interesting; sigh, it’s frustrating. . . .
