I have been tutoring CAD for a few semesters and find it very rewarding to learn more about the program myself and help others as well. If you love computers, design, and recognize that training and teaching are abilities that every employer wants in employees, I would highly recommend tutoring if you are invited by professors to do it.
In my life I have used CAD to boost my portfolio and create story boards for an animation to follow a children’s book. So no matter what your profession you will find that you are face to face with technology.
