Question
Hello! I have a question about getting a job with AutoCAD relations  before a get the Associate degree. I'm a student in a major of Computer Aided Drafting and Design, 20hours, already. I do know the engineering standards and work with AutoCAD 2006. Do you think I can get a job as a helper or intern, or what do you suggest.  

Answer
Hi -- this would be a question to ask your instructors or school counselor. They would know the local conditions in the industry you study. (Your question does not make clear whether you are in the U.S.-- by the Italian/Spanish name, and your English, maybe you are an Argentine student here?????)
In general, to be an intern, one needs
-- reasonable command of English terms and discussions for your industry (someplace' where the boss speaks Spanish might be easier for now)
---enough knowledge to make drawings or carry out other tasks without needing basic things explained constantly.
---enough expertise in AutoCAD that you will not need a lot of help in using it for work

20 hours  seems very little (do you mean 20 class units?), but ask people what they want --my general knowledge will not help you as much as your investigating local opportunities.  Good schools are very interested in helping students get jobs.

Good luck
