Education - 2 year diploma in Computer Aided drafting and design

Related? -It is, but it is absolutely nothing like what I took in school. We use completely different software and what I do is so specialized 95% of what I learned has been forgotten 11 years later.
What I do - Basically I take the architectural drawings, and structural drawings and work them together and have to draw every single piece of steel required for a building. I'm responsible for making sure every thing fits, picking out any flaws in the structure, and having the drawings prepared so that when everything goes to site it fits together. I pointed out discrepancies and flaws on the light towers for the New York Mets new Baseball Stadium that forced them to change the terace and bleachers on the project.
