It feels like every few months there’s a new tech “revolution” being hyped up as the future. Besides AI, what’s the most overhyped trend in tech right now? For me, it’s the constant buzz around the metaverse.

    “CAD” which is also not a job.

      Do you just do CAD though? Our Mech Es do a lot in CAD but not solely. Even our drafters do a lot of things not in CAD. If anyone ever asked me what I do for work, “CAD” would not be my answer.

      I categorize it as a tool, not a job. And personally, I would find a job that is, say, 75% or more CAD to be boring as hell.
