I was at my company's booth at a career fair earlier this week and it felt like every other student was looking for an internship in "machine learning". When I asked follow up questions about what sort of experience they'd had or projects done or what they wanted to do with it in their career, crickets.
To be fair, 2nd most popular was "CAD" which is also not a job.
mechanical engineers: Record scratch
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.
Lol of course not! Just joking about what others see my work as.
