Drafting
You can be a part of a field that helps build bridges, buildings and other infrastructure. Studies show that drafting and computer-aided design positions will grow through 2023 by nearly 200 jobs per year in the Inland Empire and desert regions alone. And those are high-paying jobs, with architectural drafters and civil CAD technicians earning a median salary of nearly $60,000 per year. With more college education and practical experience you can find opportunities for jobs as civil engineers and architects.
