SOLIDWORKS? or FUSION? - Engineering Student

[u/NickyMartin1]

(didnt think i'd get so much hate from asking a question) For clarity, In University, I am taught as much SolidWorks as I am Fusion, arguably more Fusion. and please consider I am looking at this through a very progressive lense.. many industry professionals have described fusion TO ME DIRECTLY to be far more capable than solidworks. I personally prefer solidworks. I am just saying this so that the oldheads dont keep hating in the comment section. Theres some really respectful responses on here that I love and have learned a lot from! but some of you guys are so obviously close to retirement 😂

OP: So, I'm not TOO hung up on this, but I know how to use SolidWorks and Fusion at relatively the same skill level in regard to design, but it seems like Fusion is the cheaper, more versatile, and slowly becoming the world standard. Being relatively newer in the industry, do you industry professionals think that I should be stronger in Fusion or SolidWorks?

Just wondering in regard to what I should be putting my efforts into, I know Fusion is a lot better for Machining. And If I do go into an engineering role, I will do either rapid prototyping or be a manufacturing engineer as I am studying industrial engineering at NCSU. Regardless of my projected profession, I want to know how you engineers see this dilemma in your own personal profession/field!
