I agree with everything Jonathan said.
I'll also add that it also depends on the company or people you'll be working with. Learning SolidWorks, or Catia is a great idea, but if the company/client wants native Inventor files (or some other file format), then the only options are talking them into something else, or using the CAD program of their choice.

Catia (in my mind) is for larger projects. A building, a plant, a vehicle (not just the "shell" of a vehicle). Catia works on those larger projects and to my knowledge allows a lot more analysis to be done on the entire product.
I've heard that Catia is a "better" option for class A curvature continuous curves/surfaces as well.

I've never used, or seen Catia. Those are just my thoughts on the differences.

Here in Quebec, the advantage of Solidworks is that it is this software that is taught in schools of design and engineering.
