it's very hard to imagine a draftperson that is NOT some form of a kuli to the architect. in the architect's office, the draftpersons are the bottom feeders. they are the lowest paid employees, even the receptionists are paid higher. but that's not exactly why draftpersons are referred to as the architect's slaves.
it's about the job specification. draftpersons primary job is to draw and visualize an architect's ideas. design is not their priority. ofcourse they could add their own interpretation of the architect's instructions, but this is strongly limited by the architect's final say. simply means, if u add too much, u'd be wasting ur time bcoz that's not what the architect pays u to do. ur job is to draw and draft from presentation drawings to 3D to final working drawing.
lets look at it this way:
secretaries are sometimes referred to as the boss' slave. they take calls, set appointments, manage their schedules, make coffees and so on. draftpersons are in a way very similar, but they're specialized in architectural stuffs - they do drawings, organizes technical drawings, visualize and so on.
however, with a Part 1, u're not a draftperson but a junior architect or architect's assistant. to become a draftperson u just need a politeknik certificate (2 years after SPM).
Tenkiu.
My way = after part 1, want to work first coz payout some loans first. Later proceed to part 2, maybe in oversea. So how can I have scholarship for part 2 overseas? Work for the gov and apply jpa?
