Question by sean o: Is Computer Drafting and Design a good decision?

I am looking at ITT tech for going back to college. I just want to get my major and get out so i dont spend too much money and dont have to worry about the time consumption. Would this be a good major? I like drawing and science so would this be a good choice for me or no??
Please help! Any comments (even stupid ones) would be helpful. I wont give anyone a thumbs down.

I would say yes. I am not sure if its the kind of major you think it is though. From my experience, computer drafting and design are the people that use AutoCAD, makes industrial designs for computer controlled machines that cut metals, makes blue prints for construction projects, and other industrial type applications.

If you are thinking of drawing, then thats more architecture, artist, type of deal.

I don’t think its an easy thing to be good at, but I am pretty sure that if you do get a job, you get paid well as there are not too many people with those skills.

Actually I just did a search and found this that describes it more:

“A Computer Drafting technician works with designers and engineers to convert their ideas and concepts for new products and designs into accurate drawings that specify size, shape, materials and specifications. These drawings are then used by professionals in manufacturing, consulting, and construction to produce the desired product or structure. Designs are created using computer aided drafting (CAD) equipment. Solid modeling and parametric concepts are introduced and utilized early in the program and throughout the curriculum. “
