So my father's been out of a job for a month and he's struggling to find another one.

He has hand drawn architect experience but ever since AutoCad became a thing, he couldn't keep up. He's done estimating for construction companies, granite and marble stuff, and kitchen. Now there are kids that are experts with excel and can do his hours of work in a few minutes.

Now he's finding jobs that require 2020 Design experience and he wanted me to find a way to get him this application through pirating means. I'm researching it and it's not as easy. Even with a crack, you need to pay a monthly fee and require a connected dongle to make it work. The program costs $2-3k to acquire it legally.

So now I'm thinking, why should I go through all this and he won't be able to grasp a 3D design program and he couldn't get AutoCad down? My question, is there a way my dad can learn to use this app and take lessons on it? If you have any experience, how did you acquire it? Thanks!
