what training do i need for drafting jobs?
Asked by Kris
What is the best training to get to obtain work in drafting? Do I need an Associates degree or or will one of the online diploma programs work?

Best Answer:
What you need is to understand that most drafting has changed to Cad/Cam and drafting is a very low paying profession. My son took classes until the instructor made the mistake of telling them the wage they could expect. He was already making way more as a welder so dropped it.

You should get some kind of diploma, whether it be in engineering or architecture. However, for simple drafting, you might be able to get by with just an intense drafting course that uses either AutoCAD or SolidWorks, or another widely used program.
