It was a hard Field for me to succeed in. Not alot of openings and competition was tough. I took it from American Commercial College back in '96.
Drafting is drawing blueprints and schematics.
AUTOCAD (CAD Computer Aided Design) is a computer aided drafting software program. It is awesome. I love it.
For more information of Drafting. look in a dictionary.
Good Luck

I like it, if you can get an engineering degree. that and autocad experience and you should be able to get a job anywhere.
Just drafting is a good job too, sometimes its a stepping stone to other type of computer related jobs. Being able to draw on a board with a pencil should be required do be a drafter, but using cad well does take talent.
good luck

Drafting is drawing up blueprints and schematics; AutoCAD (or Computer Assisted Design) is the sort of software they use to draw up their plans. (Back when I was in school, most of the work was still done by hand, with pencils and rulers; not sure what the industry is like now...)

Auto cad is also known as Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Drafting (CADD). Drafters prepare technical drawings for architects, interior designers, graphic artists, surveyors, engineers, and also find work in the machining, electronics, and woodworking fields.
According to Salary.com, the median expected salary for a typical CAD Drafter in the United States is $39,270.

AutoCAD is fundamentally a vector graphics drawing program.
It uses primitive entities — such as lines, polylines, circles, arcs, and text — as the foundation for more complex objects.

Drafting you use a board, pencil, rulers, t-square, etc.
AutoCad is similar but you use a computer instead.
