Class of 2030: the hiring decline may start before you graduate

As designers draw their own plans with BIM and AI, entry-level drafting jobs, a support role with no license or sign-off to protect them, shrink first. Fabrication drawings with accurate tolerances are still a hurdle for AI. Part of the decline dates from the move to BIM and is not AI's doing.

Major lifespan is the time left until AI is expected to start shrinking hiring of this major’s graduates. It doesn’t mean the major will disappear or that everyone will lose their job.
