I've been using AutoCAD since I was 13. There's a lot of money to be made doing what we do. I don't have a degree, but I take home a good amount of money (pm me if you care to know). I'm not bragging, just telling you that its a great industry to be in that pays well and leads you into a career. I'm in the Land Surveying industry, but engineering, architectual, etc. industries pay well.

Since I've been doing this, my average time for getting off of work was between 3 and 5.
