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.
