After being lost for too long, I chose to run away

I’ve been working in the dry chemical industry for almost two years now; I’ve learned a lot and really enjoy this field. However, my family doesn’t approve of it, and with no other choice, I have to quit my job
Ah, many people have prejudices against the chemical industry; it’s more about fluid process control than anything related to chemistry. From everyday items like clothing and food to cars and trains, everything is related to this field!
As long as you have the drive to succeed, there are many paths leading to Rome
It seems that the heart is responding to the calls of one’s family; being together as a family is also a form of happiness. Bless you.
It might be better to change industries; keep it up!
Good luck; I hope you can create something new for yourself.
It might be lucky to be able to leave, but those who stay do so out of necessity

Those working in the chemical industry should continue to do so, as without these basic chemical products, society would come to a standstill. Even those toxic and harmful substances are often the most important. For example, this might not be the most appropriate example – fluorine is a highly hazardous substance. Without it, there would be no aluminum fluoride; without aluminum fluoride, aluminum production would be very low, and as a result good refrigerants wouldn’t exist, meaning air conditioners and similar devices wouldn’t work. There would also be no PTFE non-stick pans. Titanium dioxide, which has whitening effects and is non-toxic, is also essential without which things like these wouldn’t be possible.
In every industry, there are those who do well and those who don’t; it’s not possible to generalize. In sectors with high employment rates, most workers are manual laborers; they are highly replaceable and find it difficult to get promoted ； Those with low employment rates are relatively few; those who are doing well generally fare extremely well, while there are also quite a number of those who are not doing well.
Two years isn’t a long time; not too much of one’s youth has been wasted. Especially since the chemical industry is currently in a downturn, I think it’s a quite wise decision to leave now.
Every industry is currently going through a period of decline, and I don’t think it’s wise to leave now.
