How many years out of college were you when you got your PE??

[MetsFan]

BA - June 2001

EIT - April 2002

BE - June 2002

PE - April 2012

PE isn't official until I get the certificate, but close enough. So 10 years.

 

[Mariner84]

If passing this April counts:

BSME June 1984

FE April 2010 - first try

PE April 2012 - first try

You guys can do the math - that 1984 isn't a typo, kiddies. Its never too late.
