Just thought I'd ask if anyone was, or has been in these fields on the forums.
I'm 27. I have no college degree. I am currently working for ______ insurance company. It is entry level, but we are huge and there are opportunities to advance in years to come. I just think being in insurance will suck my soul out one day, its just a job so I can get by.
I want to go to school, obtain an associates in architectural technology with a heavy emphasis in CAD drafting, and maybe follow up with some certifications that are offerred to have more specialized CAD training. I am hoping this could lead to a job as a drafter.
What I am not sure about though, is whether I should shoot for trying to turn this into an 4 year architectural degree later on with the intent of being an architect, or go into more mechanical drafting and just make a career out of that. Civil engineering is a possibility as well.
I just want a shop thats a bit technical (I would enjoy that aspect), that I could at least get my foot into the industry with an associates from a tech school, and then work from there.
Any thoughts or reccomendations from anyone here?
