I do AutoCad drafting for a Geologic Consulting firm - we work mostly with mining companies (sand & gravel) and we do environmental consulting as well. I basically get paid to draw and color. We had layoffs about a month ago (first time in 20 years the company has been in existence) and those of us who were left got a 10% pay reduction.

In October I was laid off from the engineering firm I was working for - they are still laying off.

Oh yeah, I'm in Albany, NY

How to become a contributing member of society

But most importantly, how to graft my arse off.
