John’s Answer
AutoCad or many different CAD software is used to design things; parts, machines, buildings, systems, aircrafts, ships, trains. Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace Engineering uses CAD software a lot. Architecture, Civil Engineering as well but they also use surveying so probably your best fit.

Auto CAD can be applied to any engineering field - you can be into Civil Engineering, Design. You can work with a bank and be a property inspector for their home and corporate loans

Donna’s Answer
Autocad is only one of many drafting programs, having the knowledge and abilities of a basic drafting program can open many doors for a career in engineering. Utility companies (water, telecommunications, electric) use various versions of drafting programs to maintain network designs.
As the previous answers pointed out there are many professions in civil engineering.
If you have Autocad now and are still in college, you may be able to leverage you knowledge and increase you experience by helping people do landscape designs or home renovation layouts.
Personally, I learned autocad in the military. It opened the door to an engineering job in telecommunications. I have since moved into a management position but the basic skill still allow me to navigate workorders and review information about the network on a higher level; although the drafting system used by the corporation is not autocad.
