“if you are leaving the profession because you are not getting opportunities to design or learn about the design process”

It’s only one of several reasons. I definitely wouldn’t call it the biggest, because if it weren’t for the other reasons, it’s something that I’d push through. I’d get a new job, play dumb about autocad and claim that shop drawings looked like heiroglyphics to me, and pry my way into design via my LEED accreditation and planning/programming skills. I strongly considered this and certainly have the means to do so, but in the end realized that all of the other things I’m not happy with would still be there, so it was time for a bigger change.
