Message: Hello, I work in Phoenix, Arizona and just became an Autocad Certified Professional (level 2) This is the highest honor awarded to an Autocad user by Autodesk.. When I took the exam, the average score is 81 (you need 80 to pass) I scored a 96. (so I know autocad) I have nearly 10 years of experince in Autocad and 5 years experince in my current field of precast concrete. This is more experince than the other Cad operators in the deparment. (so I know concrete) My resposibilities include shop plans, elevations, floor layouts, details, and piece drawings. However my salary is only slightly over $30K Am I underpaid? There are people coming in here with NO precast experince, virtually no Autocad experince (one guy never knew zoom extents existed) and are getting only a little an hour under me. Thanks for your help!
