Answer
Hello --

I think you are saying "I want to work abroad in Dubai, and I hear there are jobs doing AutoCAD"

First, AutoCAD is a TOOL USED WITHIN MANY DISCIPLINES -- so I think of it as something you learn to make drawings in Architecture, Mechanical, Electrical, and so on.  

Of course, to use a tool, you must understand what you are creating, thus you must study that subject. I cant draw what I do not understand, whether with a pencil or AutoCAD.  

If I just want to do the drawing, and not be the engineer or designer, I need less understanding than he does, but I must know the subject.

Also: It is more pleasant to draw things in which I have some interest, no?????????
