I am confident in my knowledge but I lied about my drafting skills when I got hired and it turns out I’m a lot better at CAD than the majority of my coworkers. The people who trained me are EXPERTS so I assumed everyone at my company was just as skilled as them…nope, people submit some real shitty drawings and have no problem putting their name on it. They’ve got me beat with technical knowledge but I’m the guy who makes the cleanest diagrams.
As someone who was educated on the technical side but had to do drafting and was shit at both, I still think they are just totally different skillets and designers should be allowed to design scribble or whatever and people who are good at drafting should get a raise.
