I’m confused; can I still go down this path, and how?

Dear seniors, I’m seeking help. I’m a newcomer from Haichuan; I’ve been working for two years. I studied petrochemical engineering in college, and over these two years I’ve worked in the coal chemical industry, focusing on production tasks. The only experience I have is working at new plants – I’ve been involved in startup procedures and commissioning processes. I just resigned and am returning to my hometown. The industry is not doing well right now, making it difficult to find a job, so it’s hard to decide what path to take. I suddenly felt lost regarding my career plans; I didn’t know what kind of job to look for or what direction to take. I hope the seniors can give me some advice; I still want to work in this field.
Similarly, it seems that the chemical industry isn’t doing very well this year; when there’s nothing to do, I really feel lost about what to do in the future
Go where there is money; don’t worry about it. It’s not too late to change careers after working for two years.
You’ve just graduated for two years; you’re still young. The entire industry is in a downturn; it’s truly difficult to find a good job unless one has top-tier skills. If you’re not in a hurry to support yourself, take some time to learn other skills; either pursue a master’s or PhD degree, or obtain relevant certifications.
Ah, it seems like this downturn will last a long time. . .
It’s not easy to change careers either; there’s no direction or goal at all. Working on it. . .
What certificates can one obtain two years after graduation? Preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam feels stressful; those who are studying have their own lives as well.
If you can’t leave, then don’t try; you’ll die sooner or later.
It’s completely possible to change careers in two years; many people do so while still pursuing their studies. It’s not necessarily a test either; some people can learn a skill by attending training courses this year, especially in the IT field
The overall market conditions have been poor this year; it’s better to find a job that’s more or less acceptable and work there for now, as a way to gain some work experience
