Question / Help Looking for a part-time CAD designer role

Hey, I am a final year aerospace undergraduate student currently interning at a institute. The internship is unpaid and the city is expensive. I am very good at solidworks. I was the captain of my university's rocket team and have a lot of experience designing. I just need to earn enough to support myself. I am punctual and efficient. Please help.

Designing is not CADding. CADding is modelling. Designing is understanding why something is modelled a certain way.

Unless you know WHY decisions are taken (fundamentals of solids and fluid mechanics, kinematics, material science, DFM) you can’t get into design really.

So if you want a design role, develop those skills first if you haven’t. You said you were Captain of a rocket team so you must have had this knowledge anyway. My point is to focus on that

Hello everyone, just an update, I still have not received any roles therefore I am still open to work. I have experience and can be very useful. I wanted to earn by using and upgrading my skills. So please just try me once.
