Huh. If I had to give up my PE because I didn't pass my PE exam again, career-wise I'd probably still do project management? because unfortunately that's what I'm good at. Maybe I'd fall back on being an executive assistant or back into banking.

...I don't want to seriously go back into banking again. I can only do mortgages so much.

This is a fun game. If I had to retake PE exams to keep up my license, I’d either be a sports caster or run some biking and baking cafe with Mr. leggo.

Luckily for me i can continue doing what i do because i don't stamp shit. But i imagine the salaries of P.E.'s would be higher due to lack of supply.

 

[FlangeheadPEAZ]

Yooooooooooo I am a PE bro hahaha ... got my license number time to stamp people's head! lol

 

[SaltySteve PE]

I really don't like the way the new format posts gifs

 

[txjennah PE]

Haha, I was making a Rick and Morty reference with my initial post. I weren't an engineer, I think I'd be a writer.

When I took my first self-timed PE practice exam at the library back in 2018, I quit halfway and thought about becoming a truck driver.

 

[Tiger15]

Fuck that. I'd pass that shit every year!

But if I weren't an engineer I'd probably want to be a high school physics teacher. I enjoy teaching; inspire young minds; lots of hands on experiments.

... interestingly both of my parents were educators and none of their 4 kids went into teaching. Maybe I should pick up the legacy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm with you, I think I would really enjoy teaching, I think I would most enjoy physics or math (surprise)
I would love to coach basketball too.

My retirement plan is to teach at a community college. Seems low stress and fun.

 

[txjennah PE]

My husband is a prof. Loves teaching. But grading?

 

[Booo]

But grading?

Thats what TA's are for

Hi guys.

If I weren't licensed anymore, I'm not sure if my role at my company would change too much at this point...but assuming it did, I would probably just go back to software development. No license needed for that anyway.

What does he teach? I feel like if I taught Calculus or something math related that the grading would be pretty easy.

I had a teacher in community college that taught some of my upper level math classes and he was really cool. He really left an impression on me and that's ultimately why it's my retirement plan.

Dude, I would take a physics class from you.

He teaches at a small school, no TAs

He teaches biochem and chemistry. And that's awesome to hear that your teacher left such an impression

 

[Tiger15]

Yeah. My high school physics teacher left a huge impression on me too. I almost majored in physics because of him.

But honestly I think I'd need to teach in an advanced/gifted setting. I don't know if I'm good enough to make it make sense to... less intelligent students

I get it. But, this phenomenon is honestly why I was made to feel dumb enough to not want to major in science/engineering the first time around. If teacher thinks you're stupid, you believe them.

Gosh, if I couldn't maintain my PE...I think I would go be a UN interpreter or open a bicycle shop/brewery/cafe or maybe write some garbage with @txjennah PE (mine would be garbage, not TXJ's, obvs).
