Somebody who has gone through years of difficult and
strenuous education in engineering, architecture, or a similar field only to wind up with a mindless and repetitive job where they
do one task on a computer
drafting program over and over again.
See: tool.
My cousin
Curtis talked up the benefits of going into engineering, and now spends 12 hours a day sitting at a computer using a software program to
draft diagrams of screws for
heavy machinery. He is a CAD monkey.
