CADD
CADD stands for "Computer-Aided Drafting and Design". It's usually a 2-year course (though it took Chris more like 6 years to complete it, including the year in which he was expelled from college) that teaches you how to use MS Paint. Even though it took Chris a long time to obtain this "degree," of the years spent pursuing it, he has only produced two pieces of work. While one might assume they were two big projects over a long amount of time, the two pieces of work he produced were a map of his mall and an incredibly large 3D Mayor's Office about the size of a football field with nothing much inside it. Chris claims that he received an A+ for these projects which took him "weeks to months" to complete.[1]
Chris has two certificates in CADD. Looking at his current art, he'd probably have been better off spending his tuition fees on Lego blocks. The Associate's Degree in CADD is no longer offered by Piedmont Virginia Community College.[2]
Chris states in his call to Kacey's father that he entered into the CADD program without knowing what kind of jobs such a certificate could get him. Throughout his years at PVCC, and in the eight years since graduating, he still hasn't bothered to figure it out. If Bob were still among us and Barbara still cared about anything, they'd be kicking themselves for wasting money on his tuition.
Usage in the comics
Chris's CADD degrees apparently come into use within his comics. He even alludes to them assisting him at many points in his comic; for example, Sonichu & Rosechu's benefit house. However, the few basic measuring skills he may have picked up from his CADD courses are made even more pitiful by the fact that he never uses a ruler nor are his drawings to scale, defeating the purpose of even learning CADD courses in the first place. Then again, it shouldn't require a fucking college course to be able to make basic measurements or draw things relatively proportionate to each other.
A villain by the name of CADD Chef appears in the comics, mocking Chris's designs for his mall. The CADD Chef is based on Chris's real life CADD teacher, who most likely gave Chris a bad grade on his real life mall designs. This "injustice" guaranteed CADD Chef a place in the Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens as one of Mary Lee Walsh's minions.
