Confused about Mechanical Craftsman career, please give some advice from seniors.

First of all, make clear 2 issues, not only for you, but also for all friends:

1. Learning a foreign language, is always right, no matter what you are in any case, no matter which profession you are engaged in, which profession, you have to stick to it.

2. Your income is low because you are in the processing industry. I have said many times that the processing industry, and then precision processing, and then good processing or processing industry, which is currently the bottom of the machinery industry, income will not be up.

So I suggest you:

1. change or not change the company enterprise, I hope you consider yourself, but to get rid of the processing industry. To the manufacturing industry, to the automation industry to other types of work to change jobs. Your work experience is a certain degree of versatility, I hope you first and the same industry product-related types of work for the transition. If there is an opportunity within the company can also be considered first.

2. It is not recommended to go to the private sector. Unless there is really no place to go, because at present the processing industry or manufacturing industry, in the private sector is relatively low income. Only state-owned enterprises, foreign capital and other related manufacturing jobs will be relatively good. So try not to go to the private sector

3. The development of the eastern coastal cities is certainly better than that of the mainland. Although Xi'an is a bit louder than Jinan in terms of reputation and is also a major town in the west, I personally hope you will develop well in Shandong. Jinan is not the best place to develop in Shandong, you can also look at opportunities in Qingdao, Yantai and other places.

4. The question of sales, I reserve the right to comment. Because different industries, different products sales income development are completely different. I think if the pressure of life is really great, and the need for a short period of time on the income requirements. You can consider doing sales, but do not engage in sales related to the current product, because the industry audience is too narrow, so the income will not be high. Because the products are different, the mode of sales and income is also very different, you should consider high-income, or high-profit product sales.

Finally, a few words of truth, maybe you really have wasted some time, but it takes time to change careers. No one can live without income, even if it's only for a short transition period, but no one knows how long the transition will take, and you haven't thought about what industry to switch to, and you're not ready to switch, and you don't have the skills to do so, are you?

So I suggest you still in the industry, change the type of work, do while accumulating at the same time for the change of profession to prepare, even if it is to go to do sales, you have to be prepared. Switch when you're ready for a truly seamless transition.
