Actually, it was much worse for drafting, as 1 CADD operator replaced 10 board drafters. Even engineers suffered as computer programs eliminated about 90% of the manual computation time, so far fewer engineers were required to complete a design. I am a retired Civil/Structural engineer, and what saved my career was that I learned computer programming early on. I also specialized in seismic design, rather than just doing traditional Civil/Structural work, which is rather cook book and doesn’t pay particularly well. Finally, I realized that being someone else’s employee wasn’t going to result in a secure retirement, so I started my own company with another colleague 25 years ago, which eventually lead to a nice retirement nest egg. |
