Regardless of your level of education, if you are under 40 years old and work as a general worker in a factory for a long time, you will feel quite comfortable with 5-8K. However, 95 out of 100 people will not have much future in their lives. (No more than 5 people can get to the boss or senior management. One of my classmates opened his own factory). There are also many fellow villagers around me. My classmates went to the coast to work as general workers right after graduating from junior high school or technical secondary school. More than 10 years have passed, and most of them are still like that. The worst ones are 3-4K, and the better ones are only 10K. Get ahead. The couple joins the factory, and the children are left behind in their hometowns as left-behind children. They are almost 40 years old, and most of them just hope to pay for pension insurance until they retire.

There are other people like me who are not highly educated, but have chosen another path, to learn technology and then start a business, or to become an elite in sales. It was very hard at the beginning. The wages were lower than those who entered the factory, and I didn't have enough to eat. But 10 years later, most of our people have successfully started their own businesses and become bosses or executives. They have all started families and started businesses in the city, and many of them have prospered in the city. In contrast, those who entered the factory not only received higher wages than before (linked to rising prices), but also had no fixed residence in a foreign land.

There is no high or low profession. For those of us born in the 1980s, we did not have as many opportunities to study as we do now, and we just caught up with the wave of work in the new era. A large number of graduates and rural surplus laborers went to work in factories. Although I was poor in those years, I insisted on not entering the factory because I felt that with the assembly line working method, no matter how long I worked, I would still know nothing without those fixed machines. Learning a technology by yourself will be difficult and tiring at first, and the salary will be low. After 10 years, you can at least earn a high salary based on the technical experience you have accumulated, or start a business using your own technology and connections.

In today's society, for people with low academic qualifications and no good fathers, the only way to make a fortune is by doing business. Working in a factory is never a way out.

Since 2008. Wages in Dongguan have always been low. The average labor cost is about 3,000 yuan. If there is a rush, the price will be a little over 4,000. Why are some people unwilling to change factories? ? It’s because the entire Dongguan area is similar. If you trade back and forth, you will earn less. Stayed in one company for a long time. I am familiar with people in all aspects, so it is easier to do things. At the same time, there are many factories that still have seniority. If you work for one more year, you will receive a monthly supplement of 20 to 50 yuan. Employees who have been working for about ten years can receive almost one month more salary every year.

Most people live a stable life. The prerequisite for stability is a lack of academic qualifications, skills and experience, so they can only choose to work in a factory as an ordinary production worker. For workers, working in a factory is often the best choice. Many people know that the wages of working in a factory are not very high. Young people often choose to work in a factory. No matter what the factory is, of course, the better the environment and the larger the scale. They prefer to go to small roadside shops, some dilapidated factories or construction sites, but they are not the choice for most young people. Why do these workers still go to factories with such low wages? Isn't working part-time just to make money? ?

What can you do if you have low academic qualifications and poor appearance and can’t join a factory?

I also went to work in an electronics factory in 2013. At that time, my salary was more than 2,400 points a month, and I worked overtime at 9:30 every day without any rest. When I couldn't produce enough, I worked in the middle of the night and worked an extra hour in the morning.

It gradually got better. I had one day off a month and no overtime work a week. The hard days were over. I remember that one afternoon my partner and I overslept together in different dormitories. Neither of us got off work and we only found out after they got off work. As a result, when we got off work the next day, the team leader said that the production had been deducted but the wages were not, and I wanted to cry. No tears.

?

Within ten minutes, the supervisor invited us to the office for tea. The supervisor asked, "What's going on with you?"

I said, "What do you think we Whether what you say is credible or not, we will say if it is credible, we will not say it."

"Tell me and listen"

My partner said, "We overslept, and the dormitories are different in the afternoon." They didn’t know until they got to work that neither of us got off work.”

I was still a little angry, "Is it right for you to deduct our output and not get wages?"

?

Supervisor: "I didn't record your absence from work"

My partner and I unanimously said: "You are the only bad guy"

After this incident, we became celebrities in that small factory, and two months later we became members of different groups. Team leader. But the two of us left after not working for long and started working as salespersons again, but the salary was not as high as in the factory.

I haven’t gotten off work for a few years now, but if I had to choose, I would still like to go to the factory. There are many people in the factory and there are naturally many enemies. It's simple and empty, and you can play it with instructions as long as the output is reached.

People in the factory can save money. If a husband and wife get off work in the same factory, like my elder brother and sister-in-law work two shifts a month, it will cost at least 8,000 yuan a month. They can live a few hundred extra dollars and send one thousand yuan to their children at home. Seven thousand yuan a month will make them one hundred thousand a year. They have been working in the factory for more than ten years and are considered wealthy people in the countryside.

Whether you are willing to stay in the factory or not depends first on whether the atmosphere in the industry is good and whether the prospects are good or not.

In Dongguan, blue-collar workers are a huge group. As one of the five prefecture-level cities in the country without districts, Dongguan's manufacturing industry is quite developed and it is one of the largest manufacturing bases in the world, so it is known as the "World Factory". In this place, the total manufacturing output value accounts for more than 90% of the total industrial output value above designated size.

The current manufacturing industry in Dongguan has 8 pillar industries, namely electronic information, electrical machinery, textile and clothing, furniture, toys, paper making and paper products industry, food and beverage, chemical industry, etc. Many of these industries are still Industries with intensive labor demand employ a large number of people. It can be noted that Dongguan also has a "labor shortage" for a period of time after the Spring Festival every year. A Spring Festival "Empty City Index" at the beginning of 2017 showed that Dongguan topped the list of "emptiest cities" with an empty city rate of 69.26. This has two meanings: first, there are many people working in Dongguan from other places, and second, Dongguan has a strong demand for blue-collar workers, even as the local industry is undergoing transformation and upgrading.

Dongguan’s industrial transformation and upgrading has always attracted attention from the outside world. Although in 2015, 60% of Dongguan's industrial enterprises have carried out "machine replacement", Dongguan is still building a "city of skilled talents", and the local government is still very serious about this. This shows that even in the emerging smart era, Dongguan still relies heavily on blue-collar workers. The difference is that the technical requirements for workers are increasing.

If there is a need, then why leave the factory? Even if the salary in some service industries is higher, if you start over in an area that you are not good at, the future risk of the function will be greater, because the more money you give, the greater the responsibility. Being needed is the guide to choosing a job.

Secondly, Dongguan is not a place with very low income. In 2016, Dongguan's GDP reached 682.767 billion yuan, ranking 20th among cities in the country; data in 2017 show that Dongguan's per capita monthly income reached 7,862 yuan, ranking sixth in the country, second only to Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Foshan. Although we don’t necessarily believe in the numbers, and they may not be very accurate, it at least shows that Dongguan’s local income level is still among the highest in the country.

Finally, Dongguan’s manufacturing industry is participating in global competition and still has a very strong future. Dongguan is one of the smart phone production bases, with shipments reaching 260 million units last year, accounting for 1/6 of the world. There are many big brands such as Huawei, vivo, OPPO, and Gionee. Huawei terminals that have moved here in recent years alone employ 25,000 people.

Perhaps, the developed economy, developed manufacturing industry, many employment opportunities, and many development opportunities are important reasons for blue-collar workers to stay in Dongguan factories.

It’s just a relatively low salary. For example, in our factory, the average worker in many departments has a salary of 4k or 5k, and during the peak season, the salary is 6k-7k. The relative consumption level in Dongguan is much lower than that in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the rent is cheap, and most factories provide food and accommodation, so our old employees are relatively stable.

However, young people born after 1995 are indeed unwilling to enter factories. It is difficult for those born after 1995 to stabilize and develop in factory workshops. In addition, since we have to work two shifts, young people do not want to work the overnight shift, and it is difficult for young people to stay. In addition, the national policy vigorously develops fourth-rate and fifth-rate university education. As long as they have money, high school graduates can easily enroll and graduate easily if they want to go to college. They do not pay attention to the development of secondary vocational and technical schools, resulting in these fourth- and fifth-rate young universities. Unless graduates achieve high standards and low standards, it will become increasingly difficult to recruit blue-collar workers in the manufacturing industry in the future. This is not only a challenge faced in Dongguan, but also across China.

It is a common phenomenon that ordinary employees in factories receive low wages. Wherever they go, it is not the same? The factory owner and the wage earner are two parallel lines that barely intersect. Everyone wants to maximize their profits. You have seen countless bosses become bigger and stronger, and how many have you seen make a fortune by doing ordinary jobs? China has a large population and is aging seriously. Factories generally only recruit young people. Those over the age of 45 lose their due advantages and find it difficult to find a job. So I generally don’t want to bother. In addition, frequent job changes waste time and cost a lot. It’s not worth it before and after. Even if you find an ordinary factory, the difference in wages for general workers is only three to five hundred yuan. Therefore, most workers are unwilling to take the trouble and choose to stay behind.

Let me tell you, I have been in Dongguan for several years, and I have never changed places or factories, because if you change places, where will you go? Shenzhen? The wages there are high, but the consumption is also high. Food costs a minimum of 600 a month, and renting a house is also expensive, with the minimum starting at 400. My friends all say that it’s not too late to work overtime there and you can get so much money. It must be better in Shenzhen. I just want to say that it is good, but I can’t save much money in a month because I don’t work much overtime and I get off work early. Wherever you go to play, you have to spend money to play.

Although I work overtime quite late here in Tangxia, Dongguan, the earliest I get off work is 10 o'clock, and I usually get off work from 10:30 to 11:30. In the evening after get off work, I basically have a late night snack and go back to take a shower. I went to bed and didn’t have time to play anywhere else.

The monthly salary is just 4,500, and the factory includes food and accommodation. Most factories in Shenzhen do not include food. In this way, I save more than 600 on food, and the accommodation is also cheap, only 220 a month.

I can basically save about 3,500--3,800 every month. My friend in Longgang, Shenzhen, saves about 4,500 a month and can save about 2,500. If you want to save more money, come to Dongguan. If you want to have fun, go to Shenzhen. , it depends on what you think.

I was born in 1993 and am a native of Dongguan. I started working in the mold industry 12 years after graduating from a technical secondary school. Around 2008, the mold manufacturing kingdom "Dongguan" was established. I used to think that if I worked as a master for a few years, my salary would be around 4,000. In 2012, I worked two hours of overtime every day and had four days off a month. I got 2,500 in one month. And all walks of life have their peak and off-peak seasons. In the off-season, I tried to get 800 a month. Later I changed jobs several times. Go to Shanghai to work in the kitchen, and go to Zhuhai to sell properties. The general salary is 2,500. In some areas, food is provided but not housing, or housing is provided but not housing. It doesn’t even include food or accommodation. Let me ask you about those who make 7,000-8,000 a month. Which kind? There is also a very practical problem, you are new to that industry. Unless you go in and apply for a manager or something. Otherwise, everyone doesn’t start from the bottom? Have you ever heard of Haidilao? Even if you go to Huawei. If there is a big enough platform for you, what status can you achieve? Now my monthly salary of 7,000 is extremely high for ordinary people in Dongguan! Speak with reality! I still admire the foreign employees who traveled across the ocean to work hard in a different place! I have been working hard to get out of single life

Tell me where the salary is high! Back then, I was traveling back and forth between Shenzhen and Dongguan! At that time, you could get 800 in Dongguan and 1,400 in Shenzhen. Apart from the rent and taking the bus, it is not as good as Dongguan. Later, I learned that Foshan has a high local capital. When I came here, I learned that there were no Sundays for a month and there were no labor laws! The labor law is of no use to Foshan factories (except Shunde.

This question is very strange. People who don’t leave have reasons for not leaving. They may also be close to home, relatives and friends are there, friends introduce them, the boss’s house relative.

Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are so developed and wages are so high, why don’t people from other places come? Why are there so many people living in small towns who are satisfied with a salary of 1,200 or 2,000? There is another reason, three people are interviewing for a job, a North Korean, a Chinese and an American. 5,000 yuan per month. The North Koreans were moved to tears, the Chinese may have been hesitant, and the Americans probably turned around and left. Why?
