    Hey there, congrats on your first post.
    I can't speak for everyone, but I've been in the A/E/C design field for over 25 years.
    Started out hand drafting house plans and small projects back in the 80's then went back to school, got a degree, got into professional CAD/design in the mid 90's (Design-CAD then AutoCAD, some Micro(puke)station)..
    Been working for major A/E firms since 1998. Got into Revit/BIM in 2009 or so.

    Does that help?

    I think you'll find there are people here with way more experience than I have, and some new to their fields..

    A little over 17 years professionally here.

    Last year's salary survey shows this distribution of experience:

    25 years since I stepped through my tech school doors. Started out board drafting and using AutoCAD R10. Worked my way up the ranks (the hard way) and in both architectural and civil design. All blended into a crazy BIM mixture that is my life today.

    Started working as an intern architect nearly 35 years ago; started out hand drafting. First used AutoCAD in the fall of 1986 and switched over to Architectural Desktop (a former name for the current AutoCAD Architecture) in 2000. First Revit project was in 2009.

    CAD: 1989 (28 years)
    CAD Professionally: 1990 (27 years)
    Revit: 2006 (11 years)

    ...and I turn 45 in October, which means I first started at the ripe ol' age of 16 and had my first professional job at 17.
