The workplace is too far from home; it’s a dilemma.

I graduated in 2013 and have been working at a chemical plant for 2 years now. My hometown is in a remote area in the southwest, and now I work at a chemical plant in Shandong; it’s very difficult to go home during holidays. There are no brothers in the family; my mother and grandfather both need care. Having been born in the countryside, I simply don’t have the means to buy a house here in these 3 years. Should I give up my job here or go back to my hometown to try to get a position as a civil servant or in a public institution? Everything ahead seems so confusing. I’d appreciate some advice from everyone.
Dude, if you can get a job as a civil servant when you go back home with a similar salary, why work in the chemical industry?
Hey, it’s said to be easy to pass the exam, but who can guarantee that they will succeed? It’s okay to take it once or twice.
If you have a government job, why bother working in the chemical industry?~~~
Should I choose to give up my current job, or go back to my hometown to take an exam for a government position or a job in a public institution? It’s obvious that you can’t choose one over the other; no matter which option you pick, you’ll have to resign, right?
When applying for civil service positions or jobs in public institutions, one must face the option of resigning. If one chooses to continue working here, they have to deal with the guilt of not being able to take care of their family.
In a situation like the one you described, one must absolutely not quit without a new job. If you can guarantee getting admitted, you can quit your job without a new one ； If you can’t guarantee it, wait until you’re hired before quitting. As for guilt, would one feel even more guilty if they quit their job without a plan and had to rely on savings to get by in old age?……
The original poster is a beautiful woman. Shandong is also part of the coastal region, and it has done well in terms of industrial development as well as education. After all, the original poster has only been working for two years; once she has accumulated enough assets, she can bring her family members here to live.
Aunt Shuguang, what’s with that look? Generally, those with such avatars are otaku. What you say seems unrealistic to me. In Shandong, salaries aren’t high – is it possible to bring an entire family over there? There’s also the issue of the elderly who are reluctant to leave their hometowns; they will eventually have to return. It’s better to buy lottery tickets; there are two numbers in Shenzhen’s lottery with a prize of ten million yuan, and no one has claimed them yet.
It is recommended to focus on one’s own career development after just two years of working. Only when one has the capability can they solve other problems. Once you emerge from a remote area, you must seize the opportunity; otherwise it will turn into a vicious cycle. It doesn’t help others and wastes one’s own opportunities as well.
