specifically requires VBA knowledge. VBA knowledge may be part of job
requirement. There are no sophisticated expectations (to me) on VBA
programming to take out a feasible profit in ANY VBA supported
area of business applications (MS Office, AutoCAD, Adobe etc.). VBA supported
applications (ads-on etc) are typically part of other, more complex,
packages. However VBA knowledge with VB/C++ etc. may become helpful tool to
find a programming job. If you are looking a job in engineering field you may
have to study that field, ther busineess. Engineering fields (I meant
Architecture, Civil etc. engineering) do not hire full time programmers. CAD
managers usually do more complex job than pure programming.

CADHolics comment about CAD Managers not hiring Full Time Programmers is not a true statement. I have found several CAD Managers who would love to hire a person who can program their CAD Tools. Some CAD Managers do not have time to learn a new skill like VBA or VB.NET or any other programming language for that matter.

Ultimately, hiring a person who can CAD Program means, i the long run, hiring less CAD Techs. When you work for a company as big as mine, the more tools and tasks you can automate, the more valuable you are.

It is however, easier to contract yourself out to do CAD programming for companies then it is to get them to hire you to do CAD Programming full time.
