They really wanted a CAD drafter with a decade of experience for their entry level position to work for like $14/hr.

Ha! Good luck with that. You might be able to hire a kid out of high school who got to try solidworks for 30 minutes one afternoon for that much.

And you're right, I've seen it. One place I talked to had some obscure CAD software I'd never heard of, they wanted someone who could just sit down and use it with no instruction, they were 40 miles from the nearest "major" city, and they wanted to pay $13 per hour, $14 for "the right person". Nope.
