Is employment in energy and power very miserable? What are the prospects?

Don’t always think that studying an outdated major will ruin your life because of it. As long as you have the ability and expertise, you can keep up with the trends of the times at any time.

Prospects for energy and power engineering majors

The employment direction is almost always in state-owned enterprises. Thermal power plants in developed coastal provinces offer good remuneration, low consumption, relatively closed working environment, three shifts, and almost no other extra social activities. Except for not being able to find a wife, everything seems to be suitable for a homebody to survive. Slowly work through the days, and one day you can't work any more and you can go to the office and enjoy the happiness, and that's it for the rest of your life. It is no longer the period 30 years ago when the motherland was engaged in construction and traditional engineering was glorious. The idea of ??being successful at a young age can only be dreamed up.

As for nuclear power/wind power/photovoltaic power, it is not very different from thermal power. Wind power has longer consecutive breaks, and there is a slight difference in salary.

Those who go to military industrial enterprises should have the best treatment when they graduate from the 701 Institute. Unfortunately, in Beijing, although the household registration is obtained, the money given cannot buy a house.

The design institute is the place with the highest income, but like the power plant, the country has long passed the period of large-scale construction. Now the design institute is in decline. Going there is almost the same as joining the Kuomintang in 1949 (I am The one who was in the wrong line).

As for the power grid, there are also recruiting professionals with active skills, but there are very few of them. They are usually the first or second batch from less developed provinces. I don’t know exactly what to do. I remember when I graduated, Henan and Anhui Power Grid seem to require master's degree graduates majoring in engineering thermophysics. A year after me, the Comprehensive Energy Division established by Zhejiang Power Grid also specially recruited a group of masters in power engineering in the field of renewable energy.

Of course, there are also opportunities other than state-owned enterprises. Is energy and power engineering a good job?

The future employment directions of graduates are still relatively wide, and the employment prospects are good. We know that the country is vigorously developing new energy. Graduates can engage in jobs in refrigeration engineering, power engineering, and thermal energy engineering in the future, and can hold relevant positions in some private companies, related design institutes, colleges and universities, and research institutes. If graduates want to find a good job related to their major, in addition to solid textbook knowledge, they also need to work hard on the job.
