Answer 1

Well first you can expect to see a boat load of Student loans to payback lol.

The earning potential for someone with CAD skillz and who is good at what they do, is unlimited. Typically, the low level entry cad designer makes about $65,000 per year in the United States.

Wanna double your earning potential, get 3d Modeling under your belt too. These guys make movies and games. They create 3D models that are used in these types of projects and often pay bigger bucks than CAD design.

Answer 2

Just what you deserve which depends on the labour market conditions at the time of your entry!
