Probably won't fly. People looking for "cad operators" usually mean autocad and little else. Occasionally solidworks too.

In the long term all SEO's are going to be out of a job. Both Google and Microsoft employ many hundreds of people working on just that. Other than that I agree - get into a larger company and learn as much as you can. Make contacts, be a good guy, go the extra mile. If you can get a trade it will always be a great fallback although I suspect apprenticeships are hard to come by right now.

It is a developing part of the industry and perhaps long term as you say, it will become less in demand. But there is a huge amount of work needed right now and our business is growing rapidly due to our success in this for smaller to medium businesses wanting their websites to be more than a business card, hard to find if not specifically searching for that business.
The internet is becoming the normal way to do business and one needs to be able to be found on search engines these days.
Your advice here is worth taking note of.

Good luck with all this. "Jobs" are going to be scarse for some time yet but you might find that being free of that comittment might enable you to take advantage of other opportunities at short notice. You'll end up living at the end of your wits occasionally then something comes along and you're Johnnyonthespot and you think "f@%^ this is cool". Once again good luck.

And they're going to pay you for it, right?
CV done by the end of the weekend. Cancel sky, move to the cheapest mobile and internet contracts. Cook in large quantities using real ingredients and keep it in the fridge/freezer - no Maccas, no curry. Don't get busted speeding. Haircut, clean shirt, jobhunting monday. Use your networks. Don't be tempted to celebrate, you do that at the other end.
The sooner you take this seriously the less it will hurt. Good luck.
