I love Rhino (https://www.rhino3d.com/); it's a pleasure to use. It's not parametric like SolidWorks, but you own it for $1K, there's a very helpful community, the company (McNeel) is great, they regularly improve the features (recently added SubD), and it's much easier to learn than SW.
It depends what you want to do. If you want to make stuff for 3D printing, it will be great. If you want to machine things on a CNC mill, you will also need CAM software which can be expensive. madCAM ($1K to own it) works well, but it is unclear whether that has been abandoned.
