You're in the position of being good at a job that a senior employee doesn't want to do.

They may sweeten the job a bit in hopes of getting you to come back and do more grunt work but interns are at the bottom of the food chain, alas.

If Krnaky's suggestion does not change matters and you stick it out, at least you'll be more practiced in CAD. I know that it's a booby prize but you'll get your 600 hours and you'll know what to avoid when next you intern.

Yeah. I figured as much. I have a meeting with him today so I'll see how that goes. I doubt things will change drastically but I guess I have nothing to lose by asking.

Let us know how it went.

I do hope that it helps. If the boss has mentally filed you away as 'that kid who does CAD' then a face-to-face meeting may well improve your lot.

This is how business WORKS. I think you got an important lesson. See, when someone is good at something, they don't move them, they just keep piling stuff on them. When someone sucks, they continually move them around until they find a place that they are good at or until the job they do is not important enough to matter. They do this to avoid firing crappy employees because of the hastle regarding it.
