Which position offers good career prospects?
In which direction do you want to develop? Scheduling requires a broader range of knowledge, while technicians need more specialized knowledge, with an emphasis on precision
Here, dispatchers have to work three shifts, while workshop technicians usually work regular shifts. In the future, dispatchers may lean towards management roles, while workshop technicians may focus on technical aspects; however, those who perform well can be promoted to workshop supervisors. It depends on your personality and preferences.
Dispatchers need to possess certain comprehensive skills; they form the reserve pool for training future managers. Technicians, relatively speaking, do not have as promising a career path as dispatchers. If you are interested in management, go into dispatching; if you want to learn technical skills, become a technician‘
On the contrary, we technicians have a brighter future
If the dispatcher can really become the plant manager on night shifts, then they have a promising future ahead； Otherwise, most positions are related to planning, as well as being order clerks, operators, and record-keepers. It has no real value.
