      What kinda work? I moved from electrical to RF systems, mainly CAD plan views of wireless reprating equipment, and equipment wall elevations for installation details. Sometimes I’m in revit coordination big jobs , currently doing MSG Sphere in Vegas. It fucking sucks.

        I got started with Autocad drawings of precast concrete buildings. Now I work for a machine shop that refurbishes big valves, and it’s equal parts boring and amazing. Some days I don’t do anything at all. And some days someone will drop some broken and bent part of something on my desk, and say “Can you figure out what this used to look like, and make a cad model of it, so we can get this fixed?”

        My job mostly consists of “Here’s 40 pounds of bent and broken stuff. Figure out what it used to look like, and make us models and drawings of the parts.”
