It really depends on what kind of drafting you go into. I am an architectural drafter and it is one of the lowest paid type of draftsman. Mechanical and Engineering tend to pay a little higher than architectural. An entry level drafter would probably start at anywhere form $14-$18 an hour depending on your field. I recommend engineering drafting, too many people are going into architectural and there is a need for engineering drafters.
