What jobs can you have that involve using CAD programs that pay well? I imagine that regular CAD monkeys don't get paid that well, so Is there any area that does pay well and has a career progression path?

It's better than starting another thread on the exact same subject, again.doublehelix2 said:I thought that bumping your own threads was not allowed? Should I have done?![]()
Jonnycoupe said:Some people can get away with being CAD monkeys on contracts with something like CATIA V5. Your looking at £25-28 per hour. Not much of a career as such though.
Wardie said:People who have been designing air craft carriers, submarines etc here for years wouldn't really agree with that.
Jonnycoupe said:And some would, contract by definition is a non permanent job, main disadvantage is no development type courses. Its more luck of the drawer if you get good experiences to develop you. You do however get some excellent contractors who have check signatory roles, however thats a totally different mentallity to a 'CAD monkey'. Similar money, regardless, a contract is a job though, not a career.
