An internship whould look better on a resume, and engr internships are usually paid

Just a note, KBR is sending more and more of their CAD work to Mexico. Don't know about other companies

PDS?

No I haven't taken PDS yet but the company I'm working for now is suppose to send me to take it but they are takin their time. I would really like to get into a company piping school like Fluor or Jacobs.

fluor a good place to get in and take their piping design course. plus i think theyre teaching pds right now!?

[Tricki]

This pipe drafting stuff is starting to interest me. It pays more than the mechanical drafting field I'm in! I had courses in piping awhile back but don't remember much about it. I know autocad/microstation/solidworks/inventor and have several yrs exp with valves & oilfield so I think I could adapt quickly. A newbie can make decent money too I think. What do you guys think?

youre right, from what it sounds like you know, you should be able to break into piping around 35-40 an hour. do you have any experience laying out pipe from a p&id? would you be able to pipe up a skid if you had the p&id in front of you?

[Tricki]

Well I don't have any exp. laying out pipe from a p&id and not sure about piping up a skid either. But after I've done it once I could do it again. I had some piping courses in school way back in '02. I have worked asme/ansi standards and flanges in the valve industry and oilfield stuff. Maybe that could be helpful. I dunno. I work with subsea oilfield equipment now. The pay seemed to range between $20-$30 an hr depending on exp. for a mechanical drafter/designer with all benefits included.
