Hi all,
I graduated in Aug 2015 with a master's in environmental engineering, worked for 1.5 years, then followed my spouse out of state for a job opportunity. I've been working a non-engineering job for about 9 months, and have been looking for an engineering job for the last few months, but haven't found much; and what I have found hasn't led to anything. I'm thinking of taking the PE (my state allows engineers to take the PE early) to set myself apart from other applicants, but I'm wondering if it really will make that much of a difference? Should I just be patient and wait until I get an engineering job to take the PE?
Thank for any advice.
