I'm 25 and just now making the choice to take the 2 year Engineering Design associates degree to get into this line of work... I know it wont be a walk in the park but it seems worth it!
We had cad class we i was in college tho i finished BSIT i pursue being a hotelier and now planning to study again autocad i really aiming to switch my career as an autocad designer. Hope i can get it
Nice video man. I'm a relatively young civil drafter and looking to possibly move to another company. I've only ever worked for this one however and it's very small/'mom-and-pop' style so I'm curious what a bigger more corporate company is like. Are you required to do site visits/travel or research code/due diligence, or is it pretty much strictly drafting? Also, do you by chance know what your company offers as starting pay for an experienced drafter? Just trying to get an idea of what to expect at other places. Thanks in advance.
Basically I'm a mechanical diploma graduate,.. Unexpectedly my mind turn in to design field.. I'm 25 now.. Started attending solidworks class and i feel i can run it for long.. Can you plz gimme some advice...
I’ve recently started working for the family business which is a restaurant/casino/hotel design company. Things got really busy lately and they have me working minimum wage doing cad I’m not complaining I love it learning so much feel so lucky. Mostly I’m doing redlines and setting up sheets also doing some elevations and sections. My uncle said “the best piece of advice I can give you is work quick but never rush”
I’m looking into getting into drafting. I took some classes in high school and was OK at it. However, I have no imagination. Like I cannot make images in pictures in my mind. Would that make it difficult to be a draftsman?
Good to see people like you who are passionate about their work and inspire others as well. That's all you need to live a happy life. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
What did you study to get a job like this and what would you recommend learning? I’m a 3D art major with concentration in Architecture so I have had a few years with cad like fusion 360, sketch up, and a bit of AutoCAD. I’m graduating in December and looking to get into cad drafting professionally
I graduated college with a BS in game design (artist end of it) and still had no idea what I really wanted besides "making things" the past year I figured out that a CAD Tech is where I want to go. I've made some shop drawings for the shop that my dad works for using paint, Photoshop, and illustrator. For the past 6 months I've been learning to use Freecad and I'd say that I'm fairly competent in Sketch and Part Design. The best I can think of right now is keep practicing and building skill.
I just graduated in May in industrial technology. I have been considering going into CAD drafting, what advice could you give to someone fresh out of college looking for work? And interview advice?
Hi, I currently work at a small engineering firm setting up backgrounds in autocad. I mostly just set up drawings sent from architects by putting the objects onto the layers that our firm uses. I’m also able to draw buildings in CAD from dimensions on physical PDFS. I was wondering what your current job description entails, what different jobs you have done, how it varies, and what schooling you have done to get to where you are?
Do you have any tips or advice for an upcoming drafter? This is my final year of college, where I plan on getting my associate degree in science and certificate in CAD drafting. I learned various softwares-AutoCad, Revit, Solid Works, Catia and so on-so I’m familiar with the programs.
I’m currently in college for an associates in drafting and design tech. It’s not bad, but how am I going to start out. We live in a rural area . Does college help you find a place?

Got an interview today for CAD technician. No experience required... we'll see how it goes lol
when you first got hired, did they put you in a training period? or did they just throw projects at you and expect you to know everything?

What do I need to get in this field of work/ career? I’m currently thinking about getting a certificate in CAD from a community college.
I’m currently a Cadastral mapping coordinator with ArcMap. Thought about looking into CAD as an alternative path possibly. Looks interesting.

MI vida desde hace 15 años, es increíble ver que en otra parte del mundo viven el día a día igual que yo.
Thanks for the video.. I’m a drafting technician with 24 years experience..

I’m interested in CAD, just starting my research so bear with me,
