I live here in the US. My IEng means nothing and CGLI not much more. PE seems to be more critical for Civil Engineering. I went on an AutoCAD class a few years ago.The bloke teaching was a music teacher who taught himself AutoCAD designing a video tape coating machine with his brother a civil engineer! I doubt he could have applied for a job at the plant he was designing for!
Draughting here is a $15-$25/hr job. He hired schoolboys to do the work($10/hr). It seems knowing the ins and outs of the software is more important than actual technical knowledge.
Open a business, provide a service, invent and produce widgets and noone cares about your qualifications. Apply for a job doing the same - no chance..
