I completely agree about the skillsets but if you’re incapable of creating a clean and readable drawing, you should choose a job that doesn’t involve that at all
At my company, the design of a system (high end AV) is done by someone else, they provide a rough sketch if needed and then my role is verifying the functionality and creating the plans, diagrams, and support material for the installers/programmers.
I started in the industry as an installer before moving to programming so it’s important to me that I make the field techs’ lives easier. But for some coworkers, that is simply not a concern
I avoided drawing as much as I could and then got the fuck outta there. I knew I was limited in both attention to detail and giving a shit, both of which are crucial to drafting success!
I’m now still in the infrastructure world but big data sets, long term, and people focused.
Glad you found your fit bud. People who care are worth their weight in fuckin gold.
