I fool with it a bit in my spare time and actually got a job offer for it the other day. Paid training and everything. I have been using Google Sketchup ( free ) ftw

11.50/hr isnt exactly great money for someone working in this field. Ive seen most guys making around ~20 here, and thats in this piss poor economy
