I work residential with Intellectually Disabled people. Basically I babysit them and take them places.

Some work at a workshop that gets light industrial work for them so they can be more normal.

Some go to the center everyday to play school.

It's the most rewarding job I've ever done, plus most of them are really sweet and funny. Like the one who used to ride around town on his bicycle pulling people over and giving them 'peace warrants'. He's 67ish and still plays tag and runs all over the place. Some are mean though and will hit/bite/scratch you if you get to close and don't have good rapport with them.

One of the guys I take care of is Schizo and is easily agitated and tries to kill himself....... or thinks people are trying to change his meds, keep him from eating or seeing people he wants to visit, or people are lying on him about stuff. He told me he hears peoples thoughts, but not just people. Dogs, cats, airplanes, everything talks to him.

It's sad in a way but places like where I work are a god's send for the people that need it rather than getting stuck in an Assisted Living Facility.

Excuse me, but to all the people that said they do CAD or plan to. What exactly do you do? Does it depend on the company you work for or is it a task that everyone does similar?

All I know is that it's a program where you can design anything, I didn't know you could make a career out of it.

Could someone please inform me more into this subject, I'm starting to get curious.

I worked an internship/training at the Caterpillar (or CAT, they manufacture construction vehicles) down here in Waco. I was in charge of designing Buckets (the scoops I guess you would call them) and Bucket teeth for digging through different materials. That was my specific duty on a team of designers. Other people had other parts. It was really more of a test for ingenuity and creativity.

What you do is start out with a sketch which can be made up of straight lines and curves and has to be a closed figure. You control the lengths and angles of these. You then extrude (blow up) that to get a basic figure. From there you can sketch on the flat plains of that figure and extrude further or cut into it to (to add and remove material, respectively). You do that until you have your 3d object (I'm simplifying like crazy here, this is truly the hardest part) which was in my case, the Bucket.

From there I had to model the Bucket pins (bolts that hold it all together) and other parts separately. Then you load all the pieces into once document and build it in the program...this is the killer, because if it doesn't fit right you have to modify it VERY slightly so that you remain within your design constraints (design rules basically).

Once that's done you print out the sketch sheets that have the top, side, and angle views with all measurements on them, then you email the finished product to the laser cutter guy so he can cut all the pieces out and powder coat them. After that the build team takes over and...they build it lol. If ANYTHING is wrong, it comes back on the Designer and the Design manager (because he has to approve it).

P.S. I hated that shit. Design is not for me. I was using Autodesk Inventor.

Would you have to take engineering classes?

To know how to work the program...probably not. It's fairly complicated but if you were really talented and watched some tutorials you could easily design some decent stuff.

Now to make a living out of it...you'd probably need some kind of certification before people took you seriously. I got mine through TSTC (Tex. State Tech. College) while I was in High School.
