Drafting is a graphic language utilized to effectively communicate ideas and plans. Any product that is manufactured (from shoes to space probes) or any building that is built (from houses to skyscrapers) and any road that is constructed (from access roads to interstate highways) requires drawings and drafting is necessary to produce these drawings. Therefore there are innumerable possible job opportunities and careers in drafting and its related fields.
