Full-timing on contract CAD work
Hello, New here, first post. I have to guess you know my type around here. I am a young professional (engineer) with a small family and have no intention of spending the next few decades scrambling...
Forum Discussion
Well. Unlike many posters who throw out a very general question, yours is very specific. It may be a long shot finding someone with those qualifications AND is a member of this forum AND is active and willing to respond. You might have better luck looking for a CAD forum somewhere and get their opinions about working remotely and average income. Once you have that info, you can do whatever you want with the money.
I used to provide technical support to medical transcriptionists. Many of them worked from home and never visited the hospitals/doctors they supported. They have several online forums to trade info, so it's possible that CAD engineers do the same thing.
As far as the American dream goes, nobody is forcing you to chase it. Visit some of the financial websites and you'll read stories about people who live very simple lives and save most of their income and retire comfortably in their 30s and 40s. You can also read stories about the opposite end of the spectrum where people earn large sums of money and pi$$ it all away. You can do that in a house or in an RV.
Good luck.
