Hello everyone!
My name is nino and I am a mechanical engineer, three-year-old graduate in September 2020, at the venerable age of 30 (other years out of course for personal problems, but this is not the important thing).
immediately after graduation I started working as a mechanical designer, getting my hands dirty in the workshop when needed. Unfortunately, despite a 3 year apprenticeship contract, the environment was not as much as the pay so in November I changed company and role. I am now responsible for purchasing in the technical production office of a company of machines for the food industry.
passion for technical design, cads and design (as much as I have only one year of experience and are everything except a real "designer") remains and I would still like to make it my main occupation. I've come up with a lot of ideas to keep this path alive and not remain anchored to my current role. I therefore ask you a comparison and also criticism in the case.
the first idea, since I stayed in good relations with the old workshop, is to continue to collaborate as a designer with them in my days free (of course Saturday and Sunday) and therefore to continue to enrich my knowledge from this point of view. the converse is that I should "simplely" perform without really testing me.
the second idea would be to take the different solidworks certifications, with the aim of deepening my knowledge of the program and then, possibly, attempt to switch from the technical office of production to the design one with a knowledge of the program and the company deeper, thus succeeding to be immediately productive to 100% (in two months in this company have already changed two designers, so the opportunity there would be).
These two ideas, among other things, do not exclude each other and perhaps join them could be beneficial even if expensive as energies.
the third, longer term, would be to complete the cycle of studies with a mastery, even telematic if view of good eye, a strong inclination towards design. but it really serves a master to make the designer, especially in medium-small companies where there are more "simple" designers than designers?
