Should have just written it off as art classes for the untalented.

I still have one of those bags that makes eraser crumbs in the back of my desk drawer, next to the precision compass.

My Dad convinced me to take Drafting in HS. The teacher was just a total asshole was impossible to get past the border without picking you apart. I started my surveying career in 1977 for the Tuttle Ayer Woodward Co in KC. It was Tuttle and Pike previously the pretty much platted KC proper. The first engineering firm west of the Mississippi. They had old school Draftsmen before CAD. They were true artists incredible actually and the hand lettering wholly shit I miss it to this day. The stuff they taught you in HS didnt resemble draftmen in the trade it was a waste. You knew who drew it just by the north arrow that was their sig. I remember when AutoCAD hit about 40 draftpersons retired of left replaced by 10 AutoCad opperators.
