I do CAD all day, I have worked for a Electrical Engineering Company for 7 years now. We do electricals, Physical and even some building drawings. I use math on a pretty regular basis. Mostly basic trig and algebra stuff.
I do not work with 3d so I have forgot most of what I was taught. I Have played with Inventor and it is bad Ass!
I say go for it and pay attention. I have a lot of budies that took it in school and have done nothing with it...most of them flip burgers now. It is a good job to get into, but most of the time you are payed on experience over knowledge. for example we just hired our coop full time. right out of high school, zero experience $10 an hour. Which is good pay for an 18 year old. In 6 or 7 years he will double that. And that is pay based on ohio little town, not a big city like Cleveland or Columbus. Areas like that pay much more!
Good luck

i am a machinist and when i do cad work with Autodesk Inventor i just use basic mathematics. This being because most of todays cad programs are way more user friendly and do the calculations for you.
heres an example of a wheel i made in about 20 minutes with inventor.

yes they do. I would rather work with something cool instead of my extruded circle.

it is not that had to do. i think that i learn solidworks in about a week. the basics that is. there is a lot more that i have learn as i use the system. out of all the system that i get to use it is by far the easiest one to use
