I need some advice from experienced professionals who are knowledgeable about career and can help me.

I've learned cutting machine operators for turning, milling and grinding technology, and finished well with 1.5. The nice thing was that I was allowed to study at a global corporation. But I have always wanted to do something not only technically, but also commercially. So after completing my apprenticeship I worked for half a year in the production department. After that I did my apprenticeship certificate according to AEVO and started a second apprenticeship as a merchant for dialogue marketing. Why just that? Because I find communication very important plus the commercial content. Now I'm done with it soon Febr 2020, so n year yet. But here I have to admit, to be able to start the training, I had to become a 100% daughter of a global company. The reason is unfortunately always the same, we're only first-time instructors. Does not matter, I have no regrets. Now I have just reached my desire and learned technical as well as commercial and the technical I can also contribute partially in the current company.

This is of course extremely important for later positions for me, it should not have been something else.

Now to the question, I want to attach a training afterwards and think that I'm not wrong with the technician either in mechanical engineering or in the field of vehicle technology. Do you think the technician makes sense here or would you rather have another training smarter? (Am currently in the automotive industry, so possibly vehicle technology)

There are many ways, but which makes sense. Can I plausibly explain my resume with a technician degree? Or. Still combining technology with the commercial one?

What would you advise me? Where should the journey go? I'm also open to completely different suggestions and scenarios.

Thanks in advance. PS: I'm 22, so I have many more years to go.

First of all, I would advise you to technically continue to educate. Why? Quite simply, such people are in demand. You have much better chances, because craftsmen, technicians, engineers are simply not as easy to find as people with commercial training. I think so, that you can connect the two areas together later. You could become self-employed or run a business or a branch. There are enough people who are super good craftsmen and go bankrupt because they are not capable of doing business.

@ Ronalda: do you have any further advice, what can I do additionally? I do not want to leave anything to chance. Eg. Whether I should additionally acquire a subject area on the way. Or hone special soft skills that could be crucial.
