I’ve been troubled by this question these days. I keeped on asking myself, “What kind of staff would you like to be?” but I have no idea about it. / b' c/ s% y5 I. A0 o* K p
I wanted to be a senior mechanical engineer sometimes before. But this didn’t last long time when I learnt that most mechanical engineers have low salary. I had been extremely frustrated because I loved money so much. I was born in a poor family which couldn’t even afford my tuition when I was still a primary school student. I have to earn money as much as possible.because my family can not able to support me financially anymore. Money seems to be the most important thing for me now. because I need more money to get married and decorate the house. ! L9 _7 R! G7 G, j
Once I was told by someone else, that if I want to get a higher salary in the mechanical industry, I must be a leader. Only becom a leader, can I get more money? Here’s the problem. How to become a leader? sometimes I thought of that. I would be certainly promoted so long as I learn much more technical knowledge than others do. I did study hard sometimes. But it turned out that I was totally wrong. Looking round, those team leaders around me don’t seem to know much about technology. They even aren’t familiar with how the machine which we are designing works. That’s ridiculous, isn’t it? But how could they become so-called leaders? I’ve no idea about it. Is there anybody here who’s able to explain it? I know that someone would say that leaders do have their reasons to become leaders. Okay, I admit that. Maybe leaders in the mechanical industry don’t need to know much mechanical knowledge. They simply need to learn how to manage a team. Am I right?
, S- H4 l& V, K. GI know there does be someone who earns pretty much by being a mechanical specialist. But how many percent of us will earn as much as they do? I think very few of us will be able to do that. It is said that China is not an ideal country to work in as a mechanical engineer. I can’t agree more. In my company, no one’s gonna care about how much technical knowledge you have. No matter how much you’ve leant and how much work you’ve done as a mechanical engineer, the boss will simply remember your team leader because it is the team leader who has “undertaken the whole design”. * f' {' U!

Believe me I didn’t intend to complain so much. But whenever I start, I can’t stop. One thing’s certain that I will never stop learning no matter what kind of job I’m going to do, either to be a leader or simply a mechanical engineer. |
