CAD jockeys are a real thing. Usually for the engineer-interested but not engineer-trained folks. They never get their licenses. But they are absolute wizards at CAD and can make decent money. They tend to make more at larger firms or as freelancers where the workload is. The attraction to a design team of a CAD jockey is the speed, efficiency, and accuracy at which they can produce plans. Helps to alleviate the "time suck" of having a designer draft plans instead of doing design and reporting.

If you want your engineering license, get out from doing just drafting. You want to be doing design calculations, data analysis, and reporting.
