 | I want to study engineering at some point. Should I apply for jobs as a CAD operator to get some sort of experience ?
Are companies going to be willing to someone who needs training without experience ?
I was hoping to be able to study at night for a few years.
What do I need to get a job as a CAD operator and get into drafting ?
Civil is the desired discipline ?
I'm 24 and I have a non engineering degree.

I know how to translate a 2D drawing into 3D and have experience in steel detailing(JIS). Can encode old drawings on tracing paper into electronic files.

 | I live in IL and am attending school to become a CAD operator. there are a few somewhat large established companies within an hour or so of me that may hire CAD guys, and I was curious to see what some other operators know to be a average starting wage, either hourly or weekly.
I would consider moving to a nearby state like OH or IN or Michigan if the wages are better there for entry CAD operators.
Thanks.
Of course I could call these companies, but I'm looking for real life experiences of someone who's been there to let me know what i can really expect, not just hyped-up promises of college placement guys.

 | Is work experience defined as the time from my very first job until now? If I am a cad operator, does direct experience define the number of years I have been a drafter? Or is it the time I began specializing in a certain field of drafting? (i.e. electrical, civil, architectural)

 | I've started my own cad drafting business & only 2 months into it (so far going what seems like extremely slow) & I'm having a hard time finding customers. Here's my dilema a CAD operator position has opened at a big well-known business and it sounds awesome and something that I could do. I feel like if I try & go for the job then I'm giving up on my business which I don't want to. Working 8-5pm wouldn't leave much time for it . I've always wanted to start my own business but worried that I have already failed. If I go for the job I'm worried that it'll just end up stuck in a routine like I have with so many of my other jobs & end of feeling like I'm in a dead end job. I've always felt as though I've been held back at my other jobs & usually get told "you're just not ready" when I try to work hard & climb the corp. ladder. I don't think this "new" job would be any different. I miss having a paycheck but knew it was going to be like this. Does anyone have any wise words of advice?
My husband tell me that I'm too much of a worrier especially the "what if" thinking and imagine bad results. I've been learning new things in my business but am really letting the hurdles of a new business get to me like finding customers. My biggest thing is what if the business doesn't work out and I don't get another job opportunity like this.

| I'd like to change careers and am interested in becoming a 911 op, as it seems interesting, I'd be helping people, plus it's a "portable" job. But I don't want to invest time and $ if I'm not going to be good at it. I know technical schools do whatever it takes to get you in there and get your money, so I don't want to go there first. Is there a book or on-line test for aptitude?

| I work for a construction/Engineering/manufacturing company. At the moment my job title says I am a CAD Operator. I currently design site layouts as well as compile the works order for the contractor to build the site. I get the site survey, do the drawings and then compile a whole doc pack which tells the contractor all the ins and outs, how to build, where and what to build.
I do not think that my current title says it all.
Any ideas on what it should be?

 | The field is electrical. He has no qualifications or experience. I've looked up a couple of courses at TAFE NSW and seem to come up with electrical engineering.
Is electrical drafting part of or a sub branch of an electrical engineer? He would like to earn a diploma, eventually an advanced diploma, but what is the name of the diploma relevant to his job? To be accepted into the diploma, you must have a certificate 3 in either Engineering or Drafting Trades. Which is the best option? If he did Engineering 3, will that teach him drafting?
Sorry for the long question, I'm just trying to get my head around this.
