I want to work in a gold mine in the future. I'd better be a mineral processing major or a chemist.

As a gold mine manager who is not too big, talk about his feelings.

First of all, as far as I am concerned, people in technical positions (such as choosing miners and chemists) want to be pragmatic, willing to work and willing to drill. For such a person, I don't care whether his skills are advanced or not, because I know that even if he doesn't understand anything at first, he will get started quickly and become advanced slowly. From this perspective, you don't need to care too much about the beginning of your major. If you are willing to do it, you will do it well within your scope and you will win recognition.

Secondly, as far as your major is concerned, an enterprise has only one chief engineer or foreman in charge of comprehensive technology, but there are several mineral processing unions. Even if there are only three shifts in a process, at least three miners must be selected, so mineral processing technology is easy to enter but difficult to exit; Generally speaking, an enterprise has one or three laboratory posts, not too many. Compared with the mineral processing post, the ability of the laboratory post is much smaller. However, the laboratory post is more stable than the beneficiation post. If you have a good chemist-the test results are accurate and stable, they will generally be stable, and you will not easily consider replacing them, and there will be less competition with the post.

Third, for a mining enterprise, the key technical posts needed, as well as the posts in surveying, mapping, geology and mining in mines, should be properly understood.

Fourth, it is a better way to start with technical posts and gradually turn to management.

The above is for your reference.
