Thanks a lot for the responses everyone! SparWeb: Okay that is interesting. I thought Autodesk did more updates. But it is nice to know that I can use an older version than what I was originally looking for. That would make life a lot easier when I am looking for a copy of the software...

Hello everyone: I am thinking of returning to school at some point to take mechanical engineering. In the meantime, I figured it would be wise to get good at AutoCAD. Now there are two ways I can do this. Option A: Spend about $4200 on an AutoCAD program at a community college and get a...

TheTick: I am working on getting some more experience with AutoCAD. I took a one month intro drafting/AutoCAD course this summer. The manual drafting was pretty interesting too (definitely an exercise in patience though). At this point, I am not sure if taking the other AutoCAD courses is worth...

Thank you again to everyone who contributed! You all have been a huge help. I think mechanical engineering is the route I would like to take. Right now I am researching the various schools in Canada to see which one would fit my needs the best. Likewise, I need to get the financial side of...

SparWeb: I understand what you are saying. The technologist route allowed you to become more intimately familiar with the equipment in addition to all the little details. If you had started out as an engineer, you would have missed out on this (or it would have taken a lot longer to pick up on...

So I was read through the engineering labour market pub that moltenmetal posted yesterday. Definitely some grim reading for sure. Amazing that only a 1/3 of graduates actually end up working in engineering. This was published a few years ago. I imagine recent economic events and the Alberta oil...

I'll come back to respond to more posts later after reading that pub in moltenmetal's last post.

Thanks so much for the feedback folks! I will address each one of your responses separately. TheTick: I agree with you 100% about getting off the island. As nice as it is here, I know it isn't the best place for someone starting out. I have thought about returning to Ontario since that is...

Hello folks: I became a member on this site a few days ago. However, I have been lurking on here for a while and have been all over the place reading threads. I'm amazed at the wealth of knowledge on here. I'll admit that quite a few of the topics here are way over my head. But I keep coming...
