Default Should I buy AutoCad?

Hey guys, Im here in college and I was just thinking if I should buy AutoCad 2008. The retail price for it is around $5,000 but I can have it special ordered through my school and get it as a student version but its the full version of AutoCad. I can get it for $150.00!!!

So I mean, I can wait until I actually need it or I can buy it now, mess with it and learn how to use it.

I'm studying to be an Aeronautical Engineer. Going to be in college for a total of 6 years to triple major in Math, Physics, and Aeronautical Engineering. So eventually I'm going to need to know how to use this product and I need to have it before I graduate and when I start my Engineering Classes which wont be until 3 years from now. So should I wait and get it three years for now or get it now?

$150.00 for a $5,000 dollar software, thats a really great deal right there.

Also, if I do get it, I will be using it on my homework for Physics as most of the time I draw diagrams and stuff which would make it easier on AutoCad. I've used it when I was in high school. I took the class for one year making and designing houses and stuff. I want to relearn how to use it, so Im going to take the basic class again here in college to get started with it......

So I guess im asking you to decide for me

Get it or wait? They have newer versions every year btw.
