I was part owner of an EPC until we sold a few years ago. Still in industry but i work as a PM now. I started with an EDDT diploma twelve years ago and have no regrets.
I can also say that I would only recommend one in ten piping drafters I have worked with. Four in ten are ok and help burn hours somewhat efficiently. The other five in ten are awful.
Work hard and learn. There are many benefits but you have to stand out.
And don't work in a union shop. There are no unions for drafters. Some fab shops are good when you start out but they don't pay great. Great to learn but avoid long term.

We may have been in the same classes, I was doing EDDT in 2001. Although I would have been 1st year then.
