CAD drafting services are usually localized so the customer can meet with
you personally to choke the hell out of you when they need to blame you for
something that's almost always their fault. Its a lousy way to try to earn a
living. Unless you are really, really, really a big kiss-ass you won't get
much work (each local community has way too many kiss-asses that will
undercut your fee for example and the customer will play you against one
another) and even then if you get lucky you might -- maybe -- meet one
really decent customer but almost always the pay is lousy and not enough to
operate a profitable business that needs to reinvest earned revenue in new
computers, upgrades, plotters, and software not to mention training and so
on.
After 20 years of experience in this context I have learned three reasons
why: fascism, fascism and fascism.
In the AEC markets for example the architects are fascist pigs that control
who can and who can not work because they have a license from the fascist
government. This is how fascism works. If it was really worth outsourcing
drawing(s) an architect will never pay the same rate or anywhere near the
same rate they charge their own customers so you will always be working at a
disadvantage because they are fascist pigs who have the license and can
control who can and who can not work.
Your better off using the unique skills in a special field you know a lot
about and learning to write software for applications or databases which is
about the only skill left the fascists have not been able to license yet and
turn the fascist pigs into your customers rather than trying to become their
service provider. The rewards for software development are still possible
and will likely remain possible to make huge sums of money from your own
hard work, talent and skills you develop. Just remember the Internet is one
trend after another and each trend means new software applications need to
be developed. Some people have been in the right place at the right time and
have cashed out big time like the two guys who recently sold YouTube for
$1.6 million. There are all kinds of success stories but none in 20 years I
have ever heard of our observed for some dumb drafter trying to work for
fascist pigs.
Wake up. Believe in yourself. Take your skills to the next level.
