Companies need drafters, if you can use autocad or revit, would be an easy way to find a spot in that field.

How does a person get started in drafting? What type of education is needed?

A lot of community colleges offer courses. I know people that have taken 2-year drafting programs and got job offers while they were finishing up.

As someone else said, a community college would be the place to go to. I just finished the 2 year degree but a handfull of companies are willing to hire with just an autocad certificate. Mine was 1 semester of autocad, others might be 2. If you're considering architecture, another 1 or 2 semesters and you'll have a revit certificate.
