PE licenses are certainly required for civil engineers if they want any decent position in their organization. However, you are correct about other disciplines of engineering.Hasty generalization in first sentence.
And this is for the group - Degreed engineers continue to be marginalized in the court of public opinion and this will never change until there is a uniform “board” for the common practicing engineer (not talking about Professional Engineering license).
Ive seen it a lot in my 20 year career as an electrical engineer. Now I manage about 60 engineers through subordinate supervisors and am not even technical at this point in my career.
I continue to see engineer dick envy in many circles, though, and I’ve always wondered why it’s so prevalent. Some engineers are assholes, I get it. But, if you haven’t experienced and successfully completed an undergraduate engineering degree, then I could postulate there is more to at least try to understand from the perspective of the engineer. (Engineering grad degree programs are typically cake walks compared to undergrad).
One of my guesses is there seems to be very profound occurrence of people calling themselves “engineers” when in reality they are not degreed as such... MDs have the medical boards, lawyers have the bar, CPA’s have the exam, etc... All of those items, respectively, are required for those professions to operate at the lowest common denominator level... Professional Engineering licenses are not required for engineers...
In any regard, I wished something similar was required for engineers to practice at lower levels. I think that would help the “prestige” of engineering...
In my experience, the most asshole-ish, know-it-all “engineers” weren’t in fact degreed engineers at all... They just had that title. Literally just calling themselves an “engineer”.
When is the last time anyone hired a “lawyer” that neither had a law degree nor passed the bar?
My 0.02, FWIW...
What a stupid thought. To each his own but what a stupid Fn Thought process. They are good people. So What they like Baylor football and the college. Id wear FSU shit and still support them if the coach went rouge.
It means the anons are very creative and have a lot of time on their handsWTF LOL. Yea Que is real. What the F does this mean? Do you know?
Whenever I need a question answered about a project I always call the superintendent. If I call a project engineer, architect, or manager they’ll want to have a 3 hour meeting with 10 people in attendance to answer my question.Project engineers are worse than project architects and project architects suck ass. Both of those asshats think they know everything about construction.

FSU baseball opens today. It has been way too long since we’ve had college baseball. Better safe than sorry though, we wouldn’t want those 20 year old athletes who play a game outside with a lot of space between players to catch the sniffles.With all the shit going on, at least pitchers and catchers report today. Spring is getting closer
and yet you have puff pieces written about the election fraud charges that are now being brought in GA, and in the ATL magazine i just read a whole story on the outside consultant (Gabe Sterling) who managed the election process like he's a hero.... Someone needs to have some backbone and actually enforce the laws as they are written.![]()

It's a play on paying criminals not to kill each other in the same way reparations for any group of people is ridiculous given people have personal choice in the US.
