The results of the college entrance examinations in all provinces have been released, and it is another year of college entrance examination season. Teacher Zhang Xuefeng is like a firefly in a cave, guiding the way for most students from ordinary families.
Let me also talk about the detours of my study and work. Hope that helps a bit. This article is fictional, no human flesh is required.
I am in the 2004 college entrance examination. Due to the mathematics of the college entrance examination in 2003, it was very difficult. Cause 2004 is too simple. Mathematics and comprehensive science are my strengths in scoring. The questions are too simple, the effect of scoring is not obvious, and I make mistakes. As a result, I, who was so relaxed, didn't go to the last one. (Only over 580 points in the test, approximate scores: English 70, Chinese 100, Mathematics 130, Science and Comprehensive 280) It has been almost 20 years since I graduated. The reason why I can remember clearly is because I have been brooding and aggrieved for a long time. Now I'm relieved, life is like this. Variety, randomness.
I applied for the voluntary examination, and no one gave advice. My parents have no knowledge and experience in this area. Can't guide me. Neither did the teacher. Neither did older relatives. At that time, I had several points: first, go to a distant place, go to Beijing. Second, it is either physically related or chemically related.
In the end, I chose: North China Institute of Science and Technology (35km away from Tiananmen Square, Beijing), majoring in mechanical design, manufacturing and automation. I went there only to find out that the school is not in Beijing. emo. (For a long time, I was ashamed to mention the college I attended. I felt inferior for the college I attended)
I didn't study hard for four years in college. Especially in the junior and senior years, they basically play a lot of games. Pretending to have less postgraduate entrance examinations. (never passed the exam)
In 2008, he graduated in a daze. I went to work in a wind turbine factory nearby. Later, I also did not go well. After resigning, I sold insurance for half a year, in Beijing, AIA. During the period of selling insurance, I realized the embarrassment of people when they are extremely short of money. (In fact, although my family conditions are good, I just felt that it was shameful to rely on my parents and rely on myself.) Because I had no money, I only ate two steamed buns a day. Living in a cubicle with no windows and only one bed, it takes 3 stops to walk, and I am reluctant to take the subway. With a weight of 160+, I lost weight below 120. (Up to now, when I think of my life in Beijing, I still have lingering fears)
Later, I found out that persistence makes no sense. Left Beijing in despair.
Later, I went south to Guangzhou to do LED-related work with my friends. Assemble the display screen, buy light tubes, and make lighting effects. Also repair circuit boards. No money was made.
Later, I started foreign trade with my relatives. Make a little money, but gamble and lose a lot of money. Then I couldn't make any money.
Once, watch foreign robot fighting videos. I thought, I can also be a machine. It was broadcast live at that time. I also wanted to make one. At that time, I was thinking carefully and wanted to gamble. Make an automatic dice machine, hang it in the live broadcast room, and throw it automatically. Every 2 minutes, 3 dice are cast in sequence, and a result is produced through a random collision channel. Then push out the results one by one and arrange them. The display position can display 10 sets of results. Then there's recycling, recycling. The whole set of structure design, assembly and control. All done by me. At that time, multiple cameras were set up to take pictures separately, overall, and multiple parts. There is a problem but it is not solved, I want to identify the points of the color and display it on the screen.
Later, the dice machine disturbed the people and did not continue the live broadcast.
But image recognition is planted in my heart. Later, I found information and learned image recognition. Found this job with machine vision. Then I found another training institution and trained behind closed doors for three months.
Miraculous things have happened, and this industry is very easy to find something to do. And the wages are higher. In addition, I have a foundation in mathematics, as well as a foundation in single-chip microcomputer and PLC learning. Let me learn image processing, PC control. Very friendly. Get on the road quickly.
I can convert engineering problems into corresponding mathematical models. For example, the positive and negative solutions of the trajectory of the robotic arm. It is the application of trigonometric functions. Calibration positioning is coordinate system conversion. Image processing is to extract effective information from a two-dimensional matrix. The trajectory of the five-axis dispensing machine is the coordinate operation of three-dimensional geometry.
What's more, I have studied mechanical design, so I am very familiar with the equipment. Mechanical, electrical, pneumatic. are very familiar. This kind of familiarity does not mean that I know everything, but that it makes me not panic. When encountering problems, I can calmly find solutions. Engineering questions, not closed-book exams.
The above advantages make it easy for me to enter the industry, and I am good at solving problems. Good at summarizing and willing to share. It is not bad for me to have a decent job in the industry. (industrial automation, machine vision direction)
Now is the time to wrap up.
I work on industrial programming applications. Math is really important. Programming skills are important. Mathematics is the foundation, and programming skills are the tools of your creativity.
Mathematics: trigonometry, three-dimensional geometry. Limit thinking, the meaning of derivatives. Matrix, the image meaning of matrix calculation.
Programming ability: the meaning of binary, master an object-oriented language, and quickly learn to use any programming language. Programming based on hardware applications. If you have time, learn more about data structures and algorithms, and the basic principles of programming.
(I am learning programming, and I am completely a monk halfway. Although I learned C language in college, I don’t know what C language can do at all. I only know that I can write a bubble sort. I don’t even know VS, and I don’t know the controls. But now programming It is completely my creativity tool, I can use programming to realize almost all my ideas, what limits me is always thinking, not programming itself)
Back to choice, your current choice is the best choice you make based on the information you have obtained and your thinking and cognition. Teacher Zhang Xuefeng is amazing. Provides more information for most average students. Can allow average students to make better choices. If I had chosen a school for the college entrance examination and had someone guide me, my life path might be very different. May be financially free.
Another point I want to express is that there are no ifs in life, and life is very long. Teacher Zhang's guidance can illuminate your short-term path, and what illuminates your life in the long-term is the basic attributes: bravery, kindness, and calmness.
Get in touch with new things and keep curious about the world. As long as time permits, learn about it and learn it if you are interested. You don't know when it will be available. For example, the AI technology that is very popular now, I found that I can also use it. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and many things are not as difficult as you think. Another thing is that most people are not willing to study for a long time. As long as you study for a long time, you can definitely improve easily.
All of the above are based on a completely free competitive industry. Some suggestions for work and study. Sophistication is very important in our society, even the most important. But I'm not good at it.
There is one more point that I overlooked before. It's because my parents' economic conditions are not bad. I don't need to graduate to support a family, so I have the confidence to try and make mistakes. Worst case, they can support me. I have also earned more than my parents in recent years.
If you are short-term distressed because of lack of money, I can't help you. I can only tell you to save money when you have income (my view on money is: money is my confidence, money can give me freedom, not vanity)
I understand that in our country, there are still extremely poor people. This requires the strength of the entire country to solve it. For personal advice, if there is no backer, background. Just go out, go to big cities, and go to industries with completely free competition. Industrial automation is also a good industry. Although you can't be rich and expensive, you can still get a decent income. Hard work, positive feedback in return, is better than other industries. Moreover, industrial automation is also in line with the direction of national development.
Majors related to industrial automation, I know: mechanical design, automation, computer, electromechanical, electrical, sensor, testing, robot. Which schools, I don't know.
The suggestion is. Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, regular universities, automation-related majors. (This suggestion is only suitable for science students who have no backing, no background, and social skills)
There is also a more high-end one: if you want to make money, you have to find a place with a high and low interest rate difference, then go to a place with a low interest rate and invest in a place with a high interest rate. In this way, you can be a white wolf with empty hands, eat the difference in interest rates, eat all you can, and be financially free.
This kind of high-end operation is out of my reach now. But you can also think about it, in case there is a chance.
The other way to get rich is by cheating. Defraud consumers, defraud investors. Lied to the old color batch. Lie to the dog. Cheat the rich dreamer. Lie to the stars and dreamers. Lie to the old man. lie to the patient. lie to children. lie to women. Lie to parents. Lie a fool. Anyway, it's all kinds of cheating. Hope you don't go down this road. I hope that the successors of our socialism are kind people.
