JoHnStUmP Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Hey I'm a freshman in high school. You might have known that already but I'm here because I want to learn more about this stuff and get an early start on what I might want to do as I age. So if you can help me please do. Two of my questions are: 1. What is the difference between designing and drafting? (I'm new remember) 2. How much money do you usually make doing those jobs? (Per hour or annually) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisHolland Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 1. Design is: Creation of a concept from scratch off, drafting is CAD drawing the concept into a usefull plan (floorplans, 3D models etc) 2. You can earn a good living in this field. See the income research somewhere on this site for that. Grow up son Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHAB Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Hi John! its a good idea to start earlier, I started learing arcviz when I was in college.Then became an architect after graduation, but still use arcviz in private work all the time.But my advice to you is to try to concentrate on one software & try to know everything about.As for money talks,arcviz & architecture depends on your talent like any other stuff,but with a higher range I guess.

Christopher Nichols Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 For Salary.. this may help you... http://www.cgarchitect.com/vb/showthread.php?t=16006 However, take it with a grain of salt. At your age, I would not worry to much about the salary. Are you interested in architecture? You you think it is something you would really love to do? Just keep in mind that, based on the amount of education you need, it is on one of the most underpaid jobs in the world. People do it for the love of doing it.

JoHnStUmP Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 Yes, I'm quite sure I want to do something with Architecture no doubt. I've been interested for a long time but never thought of actually getting a head start and I figured you guys on here would be the best for that. Considering the fact that you guys know all the stuff I'll probably need to know right on here. What do you mean by a curtain softare? Like AutoCAD software? Thanks for the list of stuff you gave me Christopher. I'm gonna use that for a project at school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 a draftsman is effectionately known as a cad monkey (sorry chaps, couldn't resist ) and yep, given literally years of experience there's a damn good wage to be had, but as i say, it certainly doesnt happen overnight. far from it infact.
