    Need advice from civil and structural PEs

    This is a case where a PE definitely isn't worth it. Its not worth your time to get it because it usually does no good. All you get is headaches.

    Is it worth it to get a PE license?

    Mike, what year was that and where the @%Q$#!! are you? $50 sounds like a load of high grade manure to me. For California? California Test Fee: $275 Hotel : $135 to stay in a good part of Sacramento, because I don't like being shot. Gas: $50 Food: $40 Total Cost $500 But, since I...

    Is it worth it to get a PE license?

    Bob, to quote you: "I think you are still missing the point, the PE is about you." When I read that, I think of how selfish I am for doing something solely for myself. The only benefit I get from getting a PE is getting my boss and coworkers off my back about getting it. I have already made...

    Is it worth it to get a PE license?

    Well, Here it is. I asked this question a while ago. I received a lot of answers. A few encouraging, most incredulous or downright hostile. I thank you all for the helpful words, no matter the delivery. However, contrary to my first instinct, I have decided to go ahead and try to get that...

    Is it worth it to get a PE license?

    You ever think that maybe I don't think Im ready for that kind of responsibility? Ever think that someone might not even want that kind of responsibility heaped on them, no matter how much of an increase in pay or prestige it is? I'm not really a risk taker, and it seems lately that no matter...

    Is it worth it to get a PE license?

    I think rather than upset my bosses again, who were very upset with me that I didn't even take the exam(guaranteed failure) this past time. Im just going to study for it, take and pass it, so I can get him and other PE's in the office to be quiet and not belittle or riducule me for not wishing...

    PE afternoon test?

    Bob, I should have also stated that I was speaking of the California Seismic portion of the PE Exam. The 8 hour.. yeah.. more skill than speed, but you still need to boogie at a pretty good pace.

    PE afternoon test?

    Bob.. I have taken the test four times. I passed the survey portion the first time and the 8 hour on the third. (once missing by about three questions) I have the skill, just not the blazing speed that is required. How is fifty problems in two hours based on skill?

    PE afternoon test?

    Ron... Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron. When I get the right answer. I don't have enough of them. Its one or the other. Put yourself in the position of the customer. Would you rather have a skillful engineer and wait 10 weeks for your project to be delivered, or have a quick one who is not skillful, and...

    Is it worth it to get a PE license?

    Ron, last time I checked.. I wasn't required to design an entire project in 2.4 minutes. (time for each question on the seismic exam) I can handle the stress just fine. Being asked to solve fifty problems in two hours just to get a bigger paycheck is just not gonna happen. I am just...

    PE afternoon test?

    Take what you are most comfortable with. Be warned. GO REALLY REALLY FAST. Its not anything to do with skill. Its more about speed.

    Is it worth it to get a PE license?

    Really… how worth is it to get licensed? All it says is you can take a test very, very quickly (at least in California). Is it really the mark of a professional? I do professional level work already, but don't really get any credit for it. I see my bosses just tearing their hair out on a...
