I have a B.S. Mechanical Degree, but took the P.E. in Civil.
I worked as an Industrial Eng. from '97 to '99, and been in Civil since '99.

I have a BS from the SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS!!!
No degree, TRYING to pass the PE in Civil. Does that count?

BS in Computer and Systems Engineering
MS in Information Technology Management
Work Experience in the Navy Civil Engineer Corps
PE "especially qualified in Civil Engineering"
But I always wanted to get my PE in Control Systems Engineering... maybe next year! The pass rate is 80% for first-time takers.

I have a BS in Geology. I worked for a structural firm (with a 2 year degree in nothing - started as a draftsman under a GREAT engineer). Went back to school early 90s after 10 years with structural firm. After I got my degree, I said what the heck, lets see if I can get into the PE exam. It worked.

Crossed from undergrad:
BS - Chemical Engineering (1991)
MS - Civil & Environmental Engineering (2001)
FE - General (2003)
PE - Environmental Engineering (passed April 2007)
I'm considering taking the PE exam in Civil (Enviro depth) next year. I'd have to learn Structures and Transportation for the morning, though.

BS: Engineering Science, focus on materials and structural analysis but with my thesis in MEMS & semiconductors.
FE was easy, heh.
PE in EE: Power. That was harder. In my state (VA), there's no restriction to discipline, so you can pass any module and practice in any engineering field, which works out well for me.

I may do something similar. I work more in civil with an envl slant than hardcore envl. I took the Envl PE though because that's what my Master's is in and I was fresh outta grad school when I started studying. I figured get the PE, and take the other later if necessary.

BS = Chemical Engineering
MS = Environmental (starting this fall)
EIT = Chemical
PE = Environmental
I work mostly mechanical / environmental / water treatment since getting out of school in 2001. So, the PE in environmental seemed like the best fit. Guess I should find out soon. (Still waiting in Maryland.)

Not only did I cross, I'm crossing back. And, I didn't finish my degree. I went to NCSU for 3 years in Civil, worked in Civil for several years doing design under a PE. Then, I crossed to Mechanical, new product design. I passed EIT and took PE in Mechanical 3 times. Waited about 12 more years and decided to take PE again. I knew I needed a review course and the only available for me was in Civil. Since I had been in Civil and had a desire to return to Civil, I convinced the board to let me sit for Civil exam. I passed. Would I have passed Mechanical 4th time? Don't know, but I'm looking forward to going back into Civil. In many ways, I think engineering is engineering. I have a good deal of valuable project management experience that can work in any discipline.
