Consider construction. They have unions, apprentices don't get paid great but certainly better than minimum wage, and with some hands on experience you can go for a cert to do CAD and make real money

They're always building something, and there's a pipeline of moving from a trade into a CAD role - they tend to promote from inside due to unions, so it can be a kind of backdoor to avoid the mess of the application process right now

An engineer is an engineer, IDK what flavor you studied but I'm sure it'd give you a big leg up in getting into a CAD role

The issue is getting in. In smaller towns sometimes it’s easier, but for example in my city for electricians, there’s 3000 applicants a year, and the Union only takes 25-50 into the program.

I especially love how they bragged about building a training center capable of teaching several hundred students… and still only take 25-50 in.
