Ask HN: Are you a licensed or Professional Engineer?

1 points by kejaed 9y ago ↗ HN

In different jurisdictions it can mean different things, but if you went through an Engineering program in university, did you continue to get your professional practice licence or equivalent? Has it ever helped, or hurt?

While I've never used my P.Eng. stamp, I've my Licence from the Association of Professional Engineers Ontario since 2009. It hasn't really helped or hurt so far, but I do like the feeling of having it, "I'm a professional!" There have been some government jobs I've qualified for that have required a licence, so there's always that reason to hold on to it.
