I used to recruit for people in the Engineering industry when I lived in the greater DC area. Good CAD draftsmen were always in high demand. Especially if they had Microstation 3-D which was the software that the Government purchased and the engineering firms were using on the re-construction of the Pentagon...
You have a cool job Huck, and I agree with you, CAD people rarely get paid what they're worth. Is your CAD manager at least a nice person?

P.S. Kinda how you'd like to own your own bike dealership, I'd love to have my own performance tuning shop. Kinda like what Shiv Patak does for the EVO's and STI's (Vishnu Performance).
