No doubt I would rather be a golf pro, or be in sports media. But like many other draftsman. I hate myself and love misery...so Ilike the job. Unfortunately a VCR repairman or womens shoe salesman is paid better. As they say, accountants who can draw.

What V said. I think our draftspeople make decent coin. I know when we contract out drafting services we're getting charged $90/hour (though obviously there is overhead & profit built into that).
