A trend I've noticed over the years is that there are just very little jobs available where you "design shit". It feels like the market is saturated with designers and companies already have all the workers they are looking for.
Meanwhile most people I've seen graduate have no real talent for the job. And they never seem to get hired for positions that require talent in design for manufacturing.
You'd think there would be more jobs available, but there simply aren't. All the jobs are either trade skills, pure CAD or some other part of the product lifecycle that doesn't require any real design skill.
You aren’t wrong, though even in manufacturing roles we still do design shit, it’s just more often shit like a workstation setup than a product.
