change work and make yourself attractive

[musentango]

Bye, guys.
I am a 25-year-old boy who has been working with autocad for 3 years in a company engaged in the civil and geological field.
Well... without explaining the reasons, the time has come to change.
Unfortunately my course of studies was rocambolesco, and I ended up with an artistic high school maturity, and vabbeh, but I always used computers and software, and in fact also with autocad I spun straight as a train.

we come to the topic question: how to make yourself attractive?
with autocad you can make an imaginary of things, and there is not only autocad.

Do you think that the knowledge of autocad (and its further insight) can give me some work hope as a designer or something?
I am of course totally willing to pay to do specialization courses for both autocad and other programs.
I thought for example to cad cam and interior design (in all this you do not calculate the discourse graduation, by now I have not taken it and will never take it again)

Do I have any hope?

in my view you have more than hopes, it was just the way you deal with the work idea.
learn to master the medium (autocad) and a working niche find it. but you must be good, I don't say the best, but one of the best.
Maybe you'll have to do the free prof, but wanting a niche you'll get it.

I've been living there for 15 years, I don't just make the designer, but when I do it, I do it because they think I'm "a very good one."

I'll say hi.

I have been using cad for about 20 years: I started with me10 and then ... tirelessly and completely self-taught, I learned to use autocad 10 in English (not 2010 just 10!)
the times have changed very much: at the time writing on a resume "found knowledge in the use of autocad" did its effect .... Now it is no longer like this: knowing autocad is the minimum demand as writing a letter with word; sometimes it doesn't even matter if you know it and you know how to use it in a very detailed way, or if you have only done a course of 10 hours: I remember that at an interview I was discarded because I was self-taught, preferring to me, one who didn't know that pull 2 lines.... but had the certificate of participation in a course!
I did a solid works course: exceptional software .... but you have to continue using it to be productive; However of this I have the certificate: I can't do anything, but I've got the certificate!
My advice is therefore you do so many courses and then when you are hired somewhere (always that this happens, as today it is much more convenient to take interinal workers!) make sure that they make you do what they promised you within very short time .... I've been waiting for eight years to do the things they promised me in the interview when they hired me! ... but for absurdity this is the place where I stopped longer.
.... I conclude with a positive note: I changed several jobs: It is difficult but at the end of the accounts it is the best thing to do.... However, it allows you to make small steps towards what you want to achieve. Know that it is not the salary that can make you in life, it is the passion! Red valentine if he ran only for money, he wouldn't get all those victories.... And now he wouldn't be back in the saddle after only 40 days from the accident! So try to understand what you want to do and then do everything to achieve that goal: you will be happier and your work will be done with passion, which will make it unique!

Hello musentago,
I think autocad will always use it, it was my first design software...I started from 12 to dos to climb. in while I started solid modeling with solidworks99 and away others, inventor, solidedge, catia and more. a little in university a little in companies you learn different software and you know...if you have passion you learn a lot.

I would say that knowing autocad is just not going anywhere except to keep you in your industry, drawing electric patterns or tires. . In short, what you do in 2d by force of things.

If you have ambitions, you have to learn to model 3d more and more in-depth, finite element analysis, have a good mastery of classical mechanical design (what you do by hand x understand us) and many hours to practice and study. Then a lucky crumb could take you to the right company.
