    "I would rather not be responsible for other people's work." moonbat


    I have actually never made use of it professionally. I took 18 months off between the BS and starting the MS and was surprised how rusty I had gotten at bookwork in the real world. Once I finished the MS I started studying for the PE exam figuring I'd never be able to do so if I waited.

    I was fortunate in that there were a couple co-workers that already had their PEs to vouch for me on my paperwork and another co-worker who wanted to take the exam too. We studied and compared notes every night for about 6 months getting ready and eventually we both passed the exam first try.

    Believe it or not, the application paperwork was nearly as difficult as the examination. I think my application totaled a bit over 80 pages.

    He acutally uses his license in the product liability world. My chief use is for resume fodder and a small but steady drain on my income for renewals. If I had to take the exam again I'd fail miserably now, unless they've added a new limerick section.
