Hello, (cliffs notes version at the bottom)
I am obviously brand new, but I have some career questions.
I was a nuclear operator in the navy, got out and pursued a career in the commercial nuclear world for operations. I was unfortunately medically disqualified for a siezure type incident.
Since I have my GI Bill to pay for my college, I am looking to pursue an education in engineering. I believe I want to puruse mechanical engineering, as it's more closely aligned to my personal preferences. (blah blah blah)
My question concerns "PE" stuff. I was recommended to pursue this as a career choice, but I am completely failing at finding much pertinent information on what this actually means... I have perused the forum, but it seems like everyone knows exactly what this is.
So my questions
1) What exactly is a PE? Any link on information would be appreciated.
2) Do mechanical engineers usually pursue PE licenses? If so, what kind of work do ME PE people do?
3) What does a PE usually get paid? No, money isn't my concern, but I do firmly believe in cost-benefit ratio's as well (time included).
Thank you for any time you can give to me. I apologize for my ignorance, I am just trying to get my life organized and planned haha.
