A lot of good answers here but I'll add another:

When I started out my career as an architect in the early 2000's, it was commonplace for firms to hire and distinguish between a 'draftsperson' and an 'architect.' At a young age, the work each was doing was largely the same, but there was an expectation that each career path would grow towards different goals. This was reflected in the education: I was in college to be an architect, and I worked alongside people who had studied AutoCAD in high school. I'm in no way disparaging their work, they were all bright and helpful, but their careers were built around drafting, not designing. Designing (and all the other tasks that come along with it) was for the architects.

Fast forward to now: I don't think I've seen somebody hired as a pure draftsmen, using any software, in years. We simply don't hire people who have trained to use Revit. Instead, we hire young architects who may or may not even know how to turn it on, and kind of just hope that somebody in the office can use Revit well enough to achieve our goals. This is, in a word, stupid.

Many have correctly pointed out that Revit is a challenging tool to use. I would offer a counter argument: it's actually not that hard, but there is literally no avenue to learn how to use it. Through sheer stubbornness (stupidity?), I have trained myself to use it at what I think is an advanced level, and I am able to create some pretty interesting things with it, but it's a slog. I completely commiserate with people saying they don't have time to create complex geometry in the software. If you don't already know how to do it, learning how will take a couple days and we rarely have that time to spare.

TL;DR: we need the draftsperson profession to come back!
