Eli5: Revit and autocad (or better yet, BIM and CAD). Please dumb it down for me like I’m 5.

I’m studying for a Diploma (associates) in architectural technology. Not sure which one to dedicate myself to.

I’m also a photographer I use photoshop and Lightroom. Maybe that random info could be used to help dumb it down for me? Lol.

Edit- I’d basically be a draftsman or a technologist. Not an actual go to school for 6 years architect.

BIM is an acronym for Building Information Modeling. User is interchanging BIM (a process) for Revit which is a 3D modeling software. I recommend you learn AutoCAD, Revit and Navisworks. Yes, all Autodesk products, but they all work and play well together. I am the BIM Manager for a General Contractor. We receive AutoCAD and Revit files from Architects and MEP Engineers. Most Civil Engineers use Civil Cad.
