I failed the FE exam twice before passing on the third try (out of school for years, never thought I'd ever pass). Also failed the PE once before finally passing it. Don't give up but the sad truth is once you get the PE nobody really cares and you still get treated like a commodity/crap by your...
i still haven't gotten my wall certificate, called and since I opted for the 2 year activation they won't be issueing my wall certificate till they order the ones with the passing april people. so I'm looking at a wall certificate maybe august? lol
well I finally got my number, after I resent everything they finally found the original. so it's now official finally and it's good till 2016. ordered my seal yesterday

commercial construction industry they just want somebody to stamp there plans so they can get permits. around here they value experience more than education. it's basically mcdonald's engineering. they want the plans/burger for as cheaply and quickly as possible.
it's quite sad really.
grad school is too expensive and nobody in consulting engineering cares if an electrical guy has a masters. if it was cheaper I'd do it just for the learning experience. also there are very few power programs in new jersey
