I am in my twenties, and graduated from 985 majoring in mechanical engineering. I paint in the machinery factory every day. What should I do in the future?

You are in your twenties, graduated from 985 University majoring in machinery, and you are lucky to work in a machinery factory. As long as you do it with your heart, the future is immeasurable.

I also graduated from a key university majoring in mechanical engineering. It's a pity that I didn't even get a chance to paint in those years. I was assigned to a central enterprise that basically doesn't go to the world, and I can only be responsible for the maintenance of general equipment. I have been an executive in other industries for more than 30 years. Once things change, people in their early fifties have no place in those industries, or my long-lost major has made me return to the workplace and take over a non-standard equipment manufacturing company.

Nowadays, non-standard customization and industrial intelligence are in the ascendant. It can be said that the mechanical specialty has ushered in the best era.

Of course, a person's future depends on his own efforts. Mechanical specialty attaches great importance to the accumulation of practical experience, and machinery factory is the best practice place for newcomers.

Now you may simply draw a part drawing, a machining drawing, but the details such as size, accuracy and tolerance attached to it will soon be sent to the workshop to judge the results, which is the most painful and exercise.

It is suggested that if you have the opportunity, you should learn from the following workshops, warehouses and laboratory departments, and learn from the workers' masters. There are many practical experiences worth learning in material handling, process flow, processing technology, assembly technology, fixture and everything on site, even seemingly simple blanking. I don't know if professional teachers and professors have ever said such things to you. I will always remember what my tutor said when I left Zhejiang University: Machinery is a practical and empirical science, and master workers are your best teachers!

The strength of engineers from machinery factory lies in the solidity and practicality of basic technical skills and processes, which may be slightly inferior to research institutes and design institutes in breadth. But in the information age of the Internet, it is no longer a problem for robots who are interested in development. Even though I am an old man, I have seen many new mechanical equipment used by Tik Tok. If I feel my eyes shine, I will be infinite, and I will soon know its principle, structure and technical difficulties. Not to mention, there are many professional groups that can discuss and communicate, observe different types of machinery and equipment, processing methods and so on. So I'm not afraid to open my eyes.

985' s theory of mechanical power generation and hydraulic-pneumatic-electromechanical integration should be contacted, which is a very good foundation. Work and study in machinery factory with peace of mind, from drawing to design, from parts to components to general plan, integrating technology, design and electromechanical. Hard-working people mature in five to eight years, and become independent in less than 10 years.

By then, the cause can be described as a blue ocean. Take the company I just left as an example. The company has 50 employees, with an annual output value of nearly 1 100 million, 5 mechanical engineers and 2 electrical appliances. Their salary and commission account for nearly 5%, which is not enough. They also put forward a plan to contract the technical department. However, non-standard is the era when technology is king.

Machinery is straightforward and personalized. I don't like it. It's dull and boring. The more I like it, the more interesting I find learning. In the intelligent age, almost all action machines can be realized. In short, you can do it if you want to.

The key is your heart.

After all, there are only two kinds of people in the workplace, one is a worker and the other is a laborer. Generally, any job with certain professional skills can be classified as a laborer. It mainly depends on knowledge and wisdom to make money, and it will be relatively easier physically. Mechanical draftsmen are also technicians. Although doing the same thing every day is a bit boring, it is much better than coolies. Besides, others can't do your job without a few years of study, and the replacement rate is relatively low, and the job is still stable.

According to the current rules, mechanical cartographers can be roughly divided into four levels: primary, intermediate, advanced and technician. Although it takes several years to upgrade each level, the gold content of this title is still relatively high. After the title goes up, the salary will generally increase accordingly, and there will be no fear of dismissal and unemployment, because there is still a lot of room for improvement in general.

This is true of all professional and technical work. The longer the working years, the richer the accumulated experience. Mechanical draftsman is a typical technical talent, and the older he is, the more valuable he is. So I advise you to work with peace of mind, draw a good picture in a down-to-earth manner, and really draw a certain reputation and have a certain position in the industry. The smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley, and the salary will definitely satisfy you.

In his twenties, he paints every day in a machinery factory. What is possible in the future depends on what you have done besides painting.

In a provincial design institute, there are two draftsmen, one is a boy and the other is a girl. Because they only have a college degree, they can't be designers, they can only paint. The salary is not high, and the working time is invested, because the drawings can only be made after the designer has worked out the plan, and the afternoon and evening are often busy. If you are busy until evening 10, you can take half a day off the next day. If you are busy all night, you can have a rest the next day.

That girl doesn't think this job can earn much money, a few thousand dollars a month, and she won't starve to death or get rich. Just work hard and don't wronged herself. Taking advantage of the benefits of working until night and the holiday regulations stipulated by the design institute, she takes a small vacation from time to time. The designers who work with her sometimes go out to travel just because they have saved a holiday, and the projects they are responsible for are understaffed and the delivery is delayed. Slowly, designers are reluctant to partner with her. She has few projects, less bonuses and low salary. I have worked for 5 or 6 years, and I am still a junior draftsman.

The boy and the girl do the same job, but he likes to ask why. Many of the overtime work of cartographers is because designers have to adjust their requirements. He doesn't like to work overtime, but he can work overtime when necessary. At first, he just asked the designer the reason for the modification. After asking a lot, he can understand and occasionally express his views. Once, a designer asked him to revise four places, and he told the designer that it was better to maintain the original plan for the third revision. After listening to his reasons, the designer acquiesced in his proposal. He only changed three places that day. Gradually, everyone knows that he is a draftsman with his own ideas, and sometimes he will take the initiative to let him talk about his views on design. At the annual meeting, a designer drank too much and told him that if you have a college degree, you can only be a draftsman. Inspired by his fighting spirit, he began to teach himself an undergraduate course. Because of excellent work skills and serious study, I won it in two years. He went on to study for on-the-job graduate students. Another time, the design institute received a very important project, and the chief engineer and senior engineer met to discuss a problem. An engineer mentioned a draftsman with ideas and asked him to take part in the discussion. Later, some projects adopted his suggestions, and then he was specially approved as a junior designer. Before this position, only full-time graduate students were recruited. He worked as a designer and later became an intermediate engineer. The story goes on.

0 1

If you like your major, you should first do your immediate work well.

Maybe you will become a top mechanical designer, product manager or department head in the future. These are the future career development paths.

Painting is just an entry-level job at the beginning of your graduation. Even if you think the value is too low, the company will think it is not worthwhile. So, this is only a temporary job.

02

If you don't like your major, because you have graduated, the cost of trial and error is higher than that during your internship in the university, but you are only in your twenties and have the age capital, you can still make new attempts. If possible, it is easier to apply for a job transfer inside the company than to reapply for a job outside.

It's the same as changing majors during college. Maybe the college entrance examination volunteers didn't fill in, or they obeyed the distribution and didn't respect personal choice. Universities allow opportunities to change majors. The premise is that the academic performance ranks high in the school. Internal transfer, on the basis of doing the original work well, will be easier to achieve by expressing demands with direct leaders and getting their understanding and support.

03

If you don't like your major, the span is too big, and there is no way to transfer jobs within the company, then when you apply for a job abroad, try to find one that is related to your current job first, and it will be easier to transition to a new job later; Or with a zero mentality, follow the best company or the best person in the field you want to engage in, practice deliberately, and be on par with excellent people.

Finally, time flies, and soon you will be 30-40 years old. Don't let you regret that you didn't do many things that you could have done 10 years ago, and dug too many holes for yourself in the future.

At the age of 20, the most worthwhile thing to do is to make yourself more valuable in the workplace step by step.

Hello, I am also a mechanical graduate. I will briefly answer your question based on my work experience in the past few years after graduation.

First of all, you should strive to improve yourself and live a full life every day.

According to your age, you should have just graduated from a prestigious school, so you must have your own plan. Don't be confused all day and draw. Maybe you are just an assistant engineer now, and you don't need to do real design. What you face every day is to help engineers draw drawings everywhere, which makes you feel unfulfilled. As the saying goes, man struggles upwards and water flows downwards. The way for you to make progress is to keep charging while completing your work. There is a lot to learn in the mechanical industry. You can learn from engineers or teach yourself. I can figure out how to design high-quality products every day, and ask others if I don't understand. That's what happens at work. It can't be a dead end like school, which is not conducive to your own development and study. If you persist in this way, you will find that you will learn a lot of other knowledge, not only the ability to meet the needs of work, but perhaps it is a piece of cake for you to publish drawings every day. When your own ability is improved, I believe the boss will see it, because no company will dislike competent employees and gradually let you design independently and undertake the project alone until it is completed. At this time, your inner emptiness will disappear, because you are not just a person who can only draw.

Secondly, we should plan ahead and learn the industry skills to be used in the future.

I am also a graduate of mechanical engineering. Just graduated, working in a small company in an industry. At the beginning, I was also responsible for the release and arrangement of drawings, and also helped my colleagues in the assembly workshop to assemble equipment. Actually, this is not my job scope. My position for myself is that I can't do this job all the time, and I will definitely do design in the future. As a designer. I am responsible for the products I design, and assembly can reflect whether there are any problems in your design and design defects, so I will record the problems I encounter every time I assemble, thinking that these problems can't appear on myself when I design. So after you have done the first step, you should learn more skills that you may use in the future besides your own work knowledge every day.

Finally, since you have chosen this industry, you must have a corresponding career plan.

From your description, I feel that you are not at a loss because you are tired of this industry, but because your current working status makes you a little confused or confused. You graduated from 985 university, so you should have confidence in yourself. At least you have many advantages in professional knowledge. As long as you are willing to study hard in this industry and actively apply what you have learned to your work, you will gradually build up your self-confidence. It's just that you are not very clear about your career plan at present, which makes you feel incompetent. You can try to set yourself a small career goal and work hard to achieve it, so that you will have a sense of accomplishment bit by bit and will not feel confused and at a loss about the future.

I hope my answer can help you.

Twenty years old, majoring in 985 machinery, drawing pictures every day, worried about what to do in the future?

As an old engineer who has studied mold design and worked in mold design and product design for many years, let me share my experience.

My first job after graduation was to design molds in an auto parts factory. Three months before I go to work, I will go down to the workshop, turn, grind and grind everything, and then go to the office to start designing molds. As you said, I will paint every day.

This picture is not a simple picture. You need to know why you draw it like this, and why this size is 20.20 instead of 20. Why choose 45# steel instead of Q235 for this material?

There is a lot of knowledge behind seemingly simple words. Only by mastering them can you draw a picture with ease.

In fact, drawing is the least important part of design. What matters is why you draw like this.

Drawings are the language of engineers, expressing their design ideas, design intentions and design concepts.

The same qualified drawing, the old engineer and the novice engineer see something different.

At that time, there was an old engineer who retired from state-owned enterprises. We use the computer to draw pictures and change them. He draws on drawings with a pencil, commonly known as a drawing board. His paintings are very beautiful and neat, even better than those printed by our computer. It seems to be a kind of enjoyment, because we may have problems such as line thickness and insufficient size. And his efficiency is still very high.

The picture he drew needs our help to input into the computer, that is, to draw it with software. There will never be a smaller size and there will never be a larger size.

Drawings are usually not a single one, but multiple drawings can form a set of drawings and coordinate with each other.

His drawings are input into the computer one by one, and there is no difference.

This requires years of solid foundation.

The company hired him with a high salary and was only responsible for drawing.

What I want is not the drawings he drew, but a set of knowledge in his mind.

This old engineer impressed me deeply, and I haven't forgotten it for so many years.

It was really shocking. I painted the drawings into works of art, which accurately expressed my design ideas.

There is a short story that I hope can inspire you.

You are only in your twenties. If I am not mistaken, maybe you have just graduated and worked for less than a year or two, and you are still in the stage of impetuous experts. As a post-60s colleague, I'd like to give you a piece of advice: If you want to engage in this major, don't think too much, just calm down and draw a picture for a few years, and it's not too late to plan your future after working for 3 15 years.

If you look down on painting, it means that you still have a diploma and haven't really started yet. What I want to say is that a diploma is just a ticket to the workplace. It's best to put it aside when you enter the door. What you learn at school is just the way to get started. It's best to go to the front line of the construction site to be a builder for a period of time, and stay for at least one or two years 1 before painting. The drawings you draw are rarely scolded by the construction.

I remember being assigned to the technical department of a local state-owned enterprise right after graduation. In a few days, I went to the workshop to do construction, and after more than a year, I returned to the technical department to draw drawings. At that time, I only devoted myself to the study of technology, and only after I had a foundation did I have an idea. The characteristics of this traditional industry: rejecting impetuousness and making quick money, only by laying a solid foundation can there be a way out.

I laid a solid professional foundation when I was young. Although I have done a lot of non-professional work for decades, I have never felt a sense of crisis. In my fifties, I can easily find a job in my own enterprise, and I have been arranged by my boss to continue to be a technical consultant when I retire. This is probably an advantage of this major, but the premise is that you need to lay a good foundation for 5- 18 years after graduation from university.

In a word, every major has its own inherent characteristics. Only by recognizing its changing law and making a career plan that conforms to the characteristics of this major can we grasp the future. If you think this major is not suitable for you to sit on the bench for so many years, changing careers as soon as possible is also an optional way.

Predictably, the day before I retired, I was still studying how to improve a component. It was not until after work that I handed over the work to a teenager in his twenties and told him the location of the files in the computer.

Finally, I packed my things, said hello to my colleagues, and started my retirement with a tired body. When you leave, you may hear a teenager say, "This old fool X has finally come out." You ignored him, so you put your things on your second-hand Alto and went home.

Will you be sad to hear my description? You can see the experience in the next 30 or 40 years at a glance.

When you asked questions, you specifically said that you were from 985 school, and you felt your superiority. You really should have this sense of superiority, because you must be excellent at school.

What should you do with your future? Unless someone answers your question, your future will follow this beautiful answer. You need to keep trying to change yourself. I am also a drawing dog, and I have a few immature ideas to discuss with each other.

Mechanical engineers are more important in manufacturing industry. All products need engineers to design, change and optimize. It is necessary to improve your design level, after all, this is the only place of use now. The more products you contact, the higher your technical level and the more valuable you will be in the future.

If you have been working in an enterprise, think of a safe way to earn money, that is, promotion, which will raise your salary. The higher the position, the more you need to worry about it, and intrigue will always happen.

Sideline can be achieved through one's hobbies, skills derivation of full-time work and so on. The internet's self-media industry in the past two years is a good way for many young people to develop sideline business. The development direction of self-media is also very wide, such as video, articles, audio, live broadcast, WeChat business and so on.

In short, no one can give a specific guiding route in the future, and we need to keep trying, summarizing and trying again to find a better future through summary.

I wish you a bright future.

First of all, I am honored to answer this question for you. Let's walk into this problem together, and now let's discuss it together.

I would like to share my personal views and opinions with you on this issue. I hope my answer is helpful to you, and you will like my sharing.

In my twenties, I graduated from 985 majoring in machinery and worked as a designer in a machinery factory. It looks glamorous, but there are still many people who are confused. Because the promotion of machinery industry is slow, unlike IT industry, he learns a new technology today and can use it tomorrow, and his effect can be realized intuitively. In the machinery industry, technology is basically accumulated by experience. Some things can't be observed on the computer, and the display is perfect and cool. But if you really make a product, there will still be such problems, which means the accumulation of experience and the increase of technology. So in fact, mechanical technology is not learned from others, but through my own personal experience.

I have the following suggestions for your confusion.

Analysis of the reasons for confusion, in fact, the reasons for confusion at work are as follows: 1 I feel confused about my job, I feel that every day is a repetitive job, I have difficulties in upgrading my skills, and I know nothing about my future development. Second, the salary does not match the salary in mind, which will lead to self-doubt, self-doubt and self-denial. Three: conformity psychology, conformity psychology is human nature. IT is possible that the students around you went to an Internet company after graduation and engaged in IT development, earning tens of thousands of dollars a month, which may be twice as much as yours, so they will unconsciously doubt themselves, so they begin to doubt whether they need to change careers and deny the value brought by their current jobs.

So we will be confused in our careers, and they will have more influence on ourselves from the outside world, which may change our life decisions. Therefore, we should carefully analyze the causes of confusion, prescribe the right medicine, get rid of confusion, and face life and work more actively.

Once we step out of school and enter a career, we need to make a simple career plan, which will be a bright light on your future career path. Career planning must be summarized in combination with the actual situation every year, so as to constantly revise the direction of progress.

In the present leisure time, we need to master the second skill. Part-time income is indispensable in a stable income system, especially in this era of information explosion, which saves us a lot of time and money in learning second skills. We just need to make rational use of our spare time to study.

For example, you may not like painting very much, but you yearn for its high salary, so you can try to learn it in your spare time. If you find yourself interested in programming, stick to it and wait until you have learned something, then you can change careers without interruption. However, we must make good use of time to learn the second skill. Generally, we arrange according to the "28" principle, that is, 80% of the time is spent on improving the skills in the existing job and 20% on the second skills. Don't underestimate this 20%, which is an important factor to distinguish the 369 in the current society.

Let me talk about my personal point of view. Although I am not a mechanical major, I am an electrical automation major. As the saying goes, mechanical specialty needs electrical engineers to participate in circuit design, and automation needs mechanical engineers to design various parts to drive machine automation. Mechanical designers are the ones I have the most contact with, so I have a certain understanding of mechanical specialty.

First of all, this major has a bright future. Now many places need mechanical design, from a piece of equipment to an airplane. Since you are from 985 college, I believe your ability is ok, but you can't say that you are from a prestigious school and your salary will be high as soon as you graduate. Any occupation needs a certain amount of time to accumulate, and more contact will give you design inspiration.

Mechanical major may just work, the leader may just let you draw as usual, this stage is not design! Only the leader has given me a task, and I want to realize a certain function of this equipment. As for how to draw pictures, that's your own consideration. Only at this level can mechanical design be considered. There are many things to consider at this time! Because not only one part is drawn, but many parts are combined together. Is assembling together a collision interference? Also discuss with the electrical engineer, can the action you want be realized according to your requirements? Being able to design all mechanical drawings of the whole energy equipment is a real start. At this time, you can talk generously with your boss about salary, and resign if you can't reach an agreement. Getting a good salary of 10 thousand to 20 thousand is not a problem.

Let me give you another real example. The mechanical engineer in my last company only had a technical secondary school education. He has been working for more than ten years, but he told me that there were more than a dozen or twenty employees at that time. I thought he jumped ship too often, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Because there are many companies, he has a wide range of knowledge and knows all kinds of machine parts! In this company, the salary reaches 14 100 months. He is the only mechanical engineer in the whole company and designs a software by solid work!

He is dissatisfied with his present income. In addition to designing drawings for work, he usually helps other companies develop non-standard equipment. He also rented a rental house of more than ten square meters near the company, bought lathes and milling machines, and processed parts by himself! He does have a lot of foreign orders, which I know, because the machine he designed needs to be moved, and he needs my paid help to design the circuit.

The boss knows that he has taken an order from abroad, but there is nothing he can do. People do their own things after work. So the future of mechanical major depends on your ability and future planning.

I recruited a mechanical engineer three years ago. Engaged in the design and drawing of a part in a well-known forging equipment factory, graduated from 2 1 1 mechanical major, engaged in one thing for 6000 years. Wages are lower than the average level in this city. Because drawing technology really needs our leaders to manage.

When I came, I was mainly engaged in the design, development and drawing of mechanical parts of automation equipment. At that time, I was a project manager and only knew a little about machinery. To tell the truth, in the initial project promotion process, it was basically because of his delayed and abnormal work that the project was delayed again and again. Although, he is a good painter, as long as you have an idea, he can draw, two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and even animated demonstrations. However, he really doesn't know as much as I do about the coordination between mechanical structures and the linkage between electricity and machinery. I can't wait to sue him several times because the project has been postponed.

But this man has one advantage, that is, no matter what you say, he will admit his own problems and work overtime to improve and improve. Going to the whole machine factory to urge the whole machine manufacturing progress is worthless by the mechanical engineer of the whole machine factory. I can't listen to it anymore. After all, we are Party A. But he has been listening, saying that his negligence here leads to his ignorance there.

In this way, I stumbled for seven or eight months and engaged in several complete machine projects. Although there are many problems, when new projects or second-generation products are introduced later, there is really a qualitative change. Now, he is very proficient not only in the design of mechanical parts, but also in PLC, electrical integration and the coordinated use of various motor tracks. Not long ago, I chatted with him and said that some companies paid more than twice his current salary, but he still wanted to learn more about PLC and electricity.

So for you, drawing is the foundation now, and you need to drill the coherence and depth of knowledge other than drawing according to your future development direction. Both mechanical design major and electrical integration related courses are involved. The future development direction must be automation and intelligence. Whether in factories or other industries, the prospects are very good.
