Erzengel, PE (Professional Engineer)

[Erzengel]

I normally don't post about my professional life but I passed my Engineering Exam. For those not familiar with the engineering exam, it's like the boards a Doctor, Nurse or Lawyer take to be certified.

I found out today and I've been pretty much on a natural high ever since. I'm probably going out tomorrow to celebrate.

Anybody else here certified or licensed? Architects, Accountants?

all that humor, and your going to waste it on . . . engineering

 

[DV8]

seriously though, a extend a very sincere congratulations . . . I'm sure you've worked VERY hard for that honor, dude

 

[Erzengel]

Yeah, I'll admit I'm not passionate about my job. It's good and I usually know what I'm doing but it does pay really well.

I'll be graduating from the apprenticeship this summer and will have to take the Journeymen exam to get my license. Big money as well.

were the exams hard erzengel?

I didn't pass on the first try GAH. And there were moments I was just like "Oh Sh't, I don't know what I'm doing." The next time I was more relaxed. And this worked for me it might not necessarily work for you but for me, it wasn't so much that I knew everything, I just had to make sure that I knew where to find it. It's open book exam.

For the rest of you, the engineering exam is broken up into 2 sessions, morning and afternoon.

The morning is a series of 40 questions ranging in questions (structural, environmental, transportation, geotechnical and water resources). The morning session is usually the easier non complicated questions.

The afternoon is also a series of 40 questions but this time you have to choose between the 5 subjects and the questions are more geared towards the subject you choose and are a lil bit more difficult.

You usually finish with time to spare in the morning while the afternoon you push it to the limit.

The worst part is the waiting. I took the exam at the end of October, I found out today. It really sucks.

Nursing boards in NJ are so much better. It's all on computers, and they stop you if you get a certain amount right so you kinda know you passed.

I had an almost an "I don't care" attitude this time when I took it. I think it helped because you are just trying to get through it.

The worst part next to the waiting was telling my boss when I didn't pass.

Neat part is I do get to put those 2 letters after my name. (PE)

I think I'm going to start doing that on all my cards.

Happy Valentine's Day, Sweetie.

I love you.
