integration into the world of work

[StradePolverose]

Hello, everyone. I have graduated mechanical expert, I have always done the worker (I am 24 years old), I have changed several companies and I have never been fully satisfied with the work I have done, alienating and repetitive. Now I work in a company I can't complain about, clean, the environment is good. The only problem is the night shifts that are devastating me.
I have problems with social anxiety and depression since I was 13 years old, these problems have given away looking for a quiet job, without too much human contact and without difficult tasks and responsibilities that could bring me anxiety and stress. But I realize that I don't like work, it's not stimulating at all, yes, you take home the loaf, yes, you can build a future, but life is one and the idea of having to go through doing a job I don't like, not to mention the repercussions on the health of night shifts.
I've been thinking about the most obvious job for my graduation: Technical designer.
Now, I'm not able to know if it will be the right job for me, but I think it will be far more stimulating and even more "qualified" than just working as a factory worker.
I have noticed that the region offers free courses, funded by European funds, which are very complete, but alas only for unemployed. the alternative would be paid courses (which I noticed are really expensive).
I care about learning solid edge for 3d.
no one hires you to form from scratch, so the only chance is training.
I ask for your opinion, what would I recommend to do to insert into the world of work? Is it worth attending paid courses?

I think every improvement path is useful.

I do not believe that the possibility of entering the company is due to the fact that it is free or paid. Of course, those who do free training usually do not accept who a job already has it, but I believe that the effectiveness of a course depends on how much the organization is connected with companies. Otherwise it's just business.

hi, be careful that staying in a chair 8/10 h/gg in front of a monitor is not easy if you are not brought. eye to anxiety and stress because you still have to have responsibilities (small or large) on what you print and send in the workshop. especially from novello. good luck. .

to clarify two points:
the work as a designer is quite stressful, especially if you are not the one to establish the delivery time, but your superior; and this applies to all employees
work can also be repetitive, but it depends on what company you end up; studies that work as contractors and have a varied customer portfolio rarely do repetitive jobs (but having to follow more customers delivery times generally shorten and having to cope with last-minute changes is around the corner... stress risk); Instead companies with their own product tend to create routines that love times and problems.

If relationships with your current company are good you can try to ask, explaining well your motivations, that they are to dismiss you so as to be unemployed, to be able to access the courses and receive the disorption aid that can keep you afloat for a while. know well about the quality of the course and especially what the market requires in your area, because if you like solid edge, but companies look for catia or solidworks will be more difficult to find work.
check if there are job consultants in the area, those serious not interinal agencies, who can give you some tips even on a basis of your character

let us say that if your goal is to have a quiet job, without stress and responsibility then that of technical designer/ designer is the least indicated. . .
the responsibilities there are, it is not that because you are sitting in front of a computer (which then is not true, the transfers from the customers are there, maybe even hundreds of kilometers) you are not stressed...you do not have to compare to an employee of the posts that once taken the place can combine what seems to him that anyway no one does.. .
I add that if you have social phobia and difficulty dealing with others you are further penalized. ..because in this activity it is a continuous phone call to suppliers, customers, tertiers, etc...
Last but not least it is a job that is just improvising. Let's say that there are some skills and a lot of them.

Thanks for the answers. I have to admit that you are kind of opening my eyes to a world almost completely unknown to me. based on what you're telling me, being a designer is probably not the most suitable job for me, apparently.
not that I expected a work zero stress style " mattress tester" but I didn't realize all this

you did not specify exactly what you do, but since you talked about repetitiveness and night shifts I imagine you do the line worker. Why don’t you try instead to get a qualification that still keeps you in the manual field but that maybe involves less “annihilation” ? cnc machine operator, welder, mulelist.

you already have your problems, then you want to go to an office.... I've been coming since I closed myself!

I started from cnc machines metalmechanical industry (very much required work and that can give satisfaction) however it is a job I learned to avoid as the plague. requires a lot of precision and speed and is physically heavy (some times there were iron blocks of 30 and passes kg to lift). now they are in the "food" sector, light work physically and clean.

and you will say: This here can't hold the stress of the cnc work, as you can think of going to be a designer in the technical office. maybe you are also right, even if seen from outside it seemed less stressful than work as cnc operator.
I could think of another type of work indicated for my diploma: the maintainer. but also here I do not think they are all roses and flowers at the level of stress and responsibility

I also started in 1998 as a cnc operator, I saw in the technical office the point of arrival, where you work, but you do not stress yourself.
in 1999 I entered the technical office and since then the real stress has started.
If I can give you my advice, you're 24 years old, try. If you think you'll try....you'll know. Here we can tell you it's ugly or beautiful, but it's up to you to live it.
Here, don't expect the good life, but like all the work

That's a job that if you're very smart, you can make a career, but stress at rivers and absurd times.

find a job: that likes, that passionate, "human" hierarchies few contacts with colleagues , minimum responsibilities and good pay and what else, is the dream of all and with these premises stress is definitely reduced to the minimum terms, but admitted that it is possible to find it, often happens that after a while everything becomes boring and repetitive or happens that the work is "ideal" but inserted in a context of colleagues, customers or suppliers who turn it into hell on earth. .
too many variables that escape our control, while what cannot and should not escape is precisely the "our control": all we can do is improve the management of ourselves.

while sharing the technical answers given by other users I want to add a recommendation: seeks therapeutic support that can help you on the fronts of stress, anxiety and depression: a trusted person with whom you can discuss and analyze the problems you encounter at work, your expectations, desires and impact with reality.
clarity will make you easier to make decisions.

 

[TECNOMODEL]

I have lived both the workshop, I have done the tool for a long time, and the technical office, where I am currently. all in a dozen companies, therefore, I would say, a good experience of the world of work.
What I can tell you is that every job has its own dose of stress, everything is about how we live it personally, how much we get involved, how much of this stress follows us when we get out of work.
as last consideration, the more interesting work becomes the more the dose of stress you are subjected to. Obviously I speak personally, for me at work it is important to do new and not repetitive things, to put our heads on, to make decisions and to manage my work independently.
all things that reward me but that have the negative implications of having responsibility, contacts with customers and suppliers, deadlines to comply etc.
As they have already suggested, I think you should first solve anxiety and depression problems, then you can make right choices for yourself and not influenced by the problems themselves.
a great "good luck" and let us know how it goes.

 

[StradePolverose]

thanks to all of the answers received are now, I am reading them very carefully and you are helping me

 

[TECNOMODEL]

Yes considered, my university also offers facilities, but always for the chaos that was my life I have already done 5 years of a three-year period in which I could not move forward, then quit it. . . creative work now that I am at a course that I recognize "my", I just want to finish quickly. I have already spent too much time at university without success, and the facilities are precisely to extend the times.. .

I honestly don't understand your intervention....

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

Mah, this vice to randomly put things in the profile to seem nice, but without giving way to understand with one speaks, I do not understand.
as I do not understand what there is to indicate a browser, not a software, in a design forum and its derivatives; is like entering a cycling forum and writing in the middle voice: pedals.
I forgot... as they say in my parts and intant bunds (especially good morning)! ! !
