I've been using PADS since way before Mentor bought it (also did
quite a few small homebrew designs with free eval versions). I can't
give you any career advice, but from a technical standpoint...
It has it's idiosyncrasies like any cad pcb program. PADS certainly
has all the power necessary to get the job done, but there is a bit of
a learning curve. You'd have to invest quite some time to become truly
proficient (true of most complex things).
