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

[allenmn85]

Graduated with BSEE in May 2007

Passed FE first try October 2006

Passed PE first try April 2012

So it was about 4.5 year out of school for me.

For the sake of Pete...I got my PE for the very fact that my snazzy, top-ranked engineering school did a poor job of making me a "practical" engineer. I am grateful to my school, but geez, every school has its own strengths. Mine was very good on the theory but not so much the nuts and bolts. Studying for the PE really helped me there. Anyone who graduates with an engineering degree from a top-ranked school or not should be proud.

I took the FE fall of my senior year and then took the PE 5.5 years later, for a total of 5 years out of school.

Graduated in 1990, Passed FE finally after numerous attempts October 2011 and taking the PE in three weeks. Wish me luck! I'll report back but I hope the answer will be 22 years after graduation.
