Yep, and I've been fortunate enough to use it. :) Our school district bought the version of SolidWorks that comes with literally everything. I ended up being the go-to for the 3D Printer we just got as well...hardware's my thing, but SolidWorks is still miles and miles easier for me to grasp than AutoCAD.

Thank you all for your replies.

I'm looking for almost any information I can get my hands on, such as pay rates, how AutoCAD is useful in the particular field, things of that nature.

This is for my 9th grade Tech. Drafting class. We use AutoCAD 2004, as we do not have the funds for anything better.

If words can be kept simple, that would be a great help to the dumb-dumbs in my class ;)

Pay scales vary according to region of course but averages run from $15/hr entry level to $32/hr for twenty year veterans. Of course if AutoCAD is only one skill of many you have then your salary can be higher. CAD managers for instance make much more and its the same in aviation except because you are a specialist in one 'language of the trade' but it is still up to you to make yourself irreplaceable. Work with clients directly when you can and make sure you put your best foot forward when you do. They will ask for you by name next time and follow you with their work if you trade jobs.
