Hello,myth2000,wanna ask you for advice about mechanical(or

Hi, Initiator,
It's OK for me if you want to ask some questions in English.And because of some sensitive words in your topic, to avoid infringing "some" limitaion, I decide to answer you question in English.
First of all, I hope you can face your personal character honestly, bravely!
Sex orientation won't be any obstacle of you or anyone else in your career map, whatever in Mechanical engineering, Indutry, Marketing business...
Gay, Les, it's normal, from the beginning for human history, it never disappeared.
So please don't feel shame and try to let others understand/realize what you choosed.
For your questions:
1.
As my opinion, you should keep your sex orientation in secret in company. Though as I have said, it does no impact to your career. But for most people, they still blacklist gay in their life. It's very difficult for you to change their mind. If they find you are different, some will accept you, but more will offend you by some little things.
You couldn't put yourself to swink between a rock and hard place, right?
Office life is also very important for you, everyday you spend most time in office, not in home. Of course you must keep distance with female workmates, specially peers and partners.
In case of your intimity published, please stay and calm down. Something will happen, but do nothing, you must bear it and still do you job normally.
It's no matter you are in R&D or not, it's true office life.
2.
Just like you, I also gave up the course when I have got the opportunity to challenge master, also with same reason.
Maybe you can't find the way out, as I repeated many times, it's not your problem, but schools.
Try to find some intern opportunity in multinational corporation, it's not so difficult as your description.
If you get the chance, please should learn the process, basic skill application, cross team function and actual combat by some small projects.
In my other replies, I have descibe many aspects of how to learn and do the job, you can take it as reference.
Please forget your theory what you learned in college. They are important, but no use for actually work. If you still work in R&D, you will use them but in a new way that you never imaged.
For example, Engineering/Classical Mechanics:
When we look at a new structure degisn, how to judge it's safety or not? Of course CAE will give us the objective result.
But how to get the first draft estimation in your mind swiftly? We should realize that in mose cases we have no enough time to wait for the CAE result.
In this case, please forget all formulas, just look at the structure, you should know where is the simply supported beam, where is cantilever beam or hanging beam. And where is safe locally and where is not, how about the safety coefficient.
Then? Done!
So you must find a job first, and then find what you need, and finally find what you can do!
If in interview, you were asked the same question. Please answer "Everything!", and then tell them what you have learned in college.
You must fail in first several tries, but everyone need bear the course. And soon you can learn a lot of things during the experience.
3.
There is no any direct relationship between work and your sex orientation. I can't realize what you are taking care about.
As what I said in topic 1, if you can deal with the relationship in office, there is no obstacle in your career map.
I have said many times that don't believe yourself too much, the probability of you to be a successful boss is too too too small, tend to be ZERO.
If you want to find some part time job, it's OK. But if you want to be the trainer as language coach in Shanghai, you must...
I think you know how many competitors here, right?
Summary:
a.
Dont mind your character issue, it's your private affairs, not the problem. And it's does no impact to your career, but you must consider the relationship with others. Hope you can keep it in screte.
b.
To find a normal job as other, don't make avoidance in career map, also should make the long term schedule for yourself.
c.
Calm down and keep a smooth mood in daily life. You are not different, just a little special.
Everything will be OK.
Take easy, boy.
