Hi everyone,I’m based in the UK and considering switching careers into CAD technician work and would appreciate advice from people in the field.

My background is aviation, I worked as cabin crew for 3 years, and before that as a centralized load controller for 3.5 years. I left cabin crew because I want a more settled career long term.

I’m interested in CAD but I’m not sure where to start. I prefer a structured course rather than fully self-teaching, and I’m looking at getting a qualification within around 6 months, if it's possible.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m currently feeling a bit lost career-wise and I’m looking into changing careers. UI/UX design caught my attention, but I want to hear from people who actually do it.

What does your day-to-day look like? How much of the job is designing vs meetings, talking to people, presenting ideas, etc.?

I’m asking because I’m not someone who enjoys lots of meetings or constant social interaction, so I’m wondering if UI/UX can be a good fit for someone who prefers more focused independent work.

Do you enjoy the career? What are the biggest pros and cons that people don’t usually know about?

Any honest advice would really help. Thanks!
