Career prospects for chemical engineering machinery majors
Thread Content
Hello everyone. I study chemical engineering machinery and work as a equipment technician in a chemical company; it feels like I’m doing miscellaneous tasks every day. I would like to ask those who are more experienced in this field: what are the career prospects for someone in my field? Seeking advice!
Strive for self-improvement and learn more*. Only by eventually becoming an expert does it become valuable.
Every expert started out doing menial tasks; I too was a technician, but most of the time I was doing clerical work. Find your own path, learn more, ask questions often, delve deeper into the subject, and gradually build up your experience. When you end up in a smaller factory, you’ll feel that you’re actually doing quite well, which shows that you’ve improved without even realizing it. Let’s encourage each other!
Work hard to improve my skills, so I won’t have to do menial tasks anymore
I work in this field too. First, it’s important to clarify the focus of the work; this isn’t school, so there’s no need to learn overly complex theoretical calculations； What is needed is to continuously accumulate common knowledge – for example, knowing what the NB/T47020-NB/T47027 series of national standards are for and what information can be found in them; if you can recall this information immediately, then you are an expert
Accumulate more – everyone starts by doing menial tasks to gain experience. The important thing is to maintain a calm mindset
There’s no way out; it will stay this way, or one has to switch to working in sales at a equipment manufacturing company
I’m very confused. Me too; I work on heat exchangers
