True.  Sad but True.  CAD operators are probably cheaper than
designers.

  Real easy answer....STUPIDITY, STUPIDITY, STUPIDITY...I'll
take a good
  seasoned DESIGNER over an operator anytime!!! If you can get
both, great,
  but I would certainly prefer to train a good designer on a CAD
system, then
  try to train a good cad operator to be a designer....Takes
awhile.. Don't
  believe the SALES guy that anyone can operate his MAGIC
PUSH BUTTON SYSTEM
  and out pops a complex design... That's part of the Santa
Claus/Easter Bunny
