PE - No Degree - Job Requirements

Do the jobs require a PE License? If not the 4 years may just be standard in anticipation of the candidate being able to obtain a PE License down the road. 

My suggestion would be to create a good resume and work history and let your experience and knowledge shine. You may lose out on some jobs with strict requirements (i.e. government jobs) or some dealing with head hunter recruiters. But most hiring managers will be reasonable and focus more on experience.
