It's official: A 9-year quest to become a Professional Engineer has finally come to fruition. With five years of college, four years of apprentice work under a licenced PE, and the passing of the Professional Engineering Exam (the engineers equivalent of the lawyers BAR Exam), the dream has now been realized. \:\)

I am stoked!!!!!!!!!! "Who's pouring."

Well done Duc!

No need to ask, you just did it for me. The "boys" here at work all read this forum. ;\)

Accually, I won't ask for a raise. These guys can make that determination. They have become my best freinds and they are *WAY* to good to me already. The annual bonus' alone add up to more than most folks would get with a raise anyway. And, civil engineering is our disipline of choice, to anwser your last question.

Impressive. Not that I'm an Engamaneer, but from what I understand, that's really darn hard test to pass.

Now, it's time for you to start your consulting business! Serious bucks!

Crikey! You can consult for 1 day a week, and easily fish the other 6...and STILL make more money than you are now (probably)!

Way to go!

Your right SOL, they are WAY toooooo good to you! If the swelling of your head ever goes down they might start loving you again.

Good job!

Congrats SOL!

That is quite an accomplishment, for anyone. I only wish you were an EE/EMC/PE guy...dang, could I send you some work.

All the best with the new initials!

Good job! I've been there (Chem E) and it's no fun, either the test or the wait for the results. Nice to hear about the bonus too. I've had too many bosses who think the success of their company is their doing. Hopefully, your current boss(es) will realize that you deserve a bonus and a raise.

Cheers,

It would seem that a lot of us on this board have engineering degrees.
