I have always wanted to break through to design work. A couple years back I took a bunch of solidworks courses and I was exited about finding a manufacturing engineer job figuring that me background in machining along with the ability to design would be a big +. Turns out Everyone wanted someone with a degree and didn't wanted to much less than what I could make as a progrmmer. So I figured the only way to make the transition was to take less money with the hopes I could climb the latter quickly or get a job as a programmer at a place that has a good engineering dept and try to squeeze in that way. I ended up just getting another well paying programming job. Hopefully all the solidworks training I received will payoff in the future.

I took 3 semesters of SolidWorks at a local community college use use it extensively in my CNC programming,

but as you said, most SW jobs I've seen require a degree.... and most of the ones I've seen

would amoun to a huge paycut from what I'm making as a programmer.
