A PE cuts off a year of progression going from Engineer III to Senior Engineer but that’s about the only benefit

I'm in one of the few disciplines of petroleum engineering where a stamp is pretty useful (consultant for underground injection).
Of course, the pay is abysmal relative to E&P, but the job security is nice

its weird cause you cant make it to any decent level without the degree but the higher you go, the less engineering you actually do.
I tell younger engineers that the key to making more money in engineering is to get into management, at least for a little while. Your pay goes up significantly and when you get fed up and go back to engineering you get only a small pay cut, if any.
On a side note, managing engineers can be one of the lower levels of hell. At least in the controls world. So many people just don't want to do a thorough job. A good group is a joy but one or two bad seeds and it can be miserable.

I've never used my stamp either. Company gets to charge more for my work on hourly jobs, but it's a small firm and they only use one EE to stamp drawings for insurance purposes.

Senior Mud / Completion Fluids Engineer
Not a licensed engineer of course. But still make enough to buy trucks nuts for all three of my vehicles.

Yep. I’m an old engineer.

i work in a plant, most of my directs are not engineers but the ones that are.....especially some of the young ones are hard to deal with. But the old guys in my group that are at retirement or have been brought back out of retirement as contract staffed....they are the biggest pain in the arse to deal with cause they give zero fricks lol.
and i dont blame them one bit. I treat them well but still waiting for one to tell me to frick off and shove the job up my arse

Mechanical Engineer checking in although these days I spend 75% of my time in front of a computer. Specialized in CFD/numerical methods and signal processing/controls theory, which is a bit of a unique combination. I miss working with my hands more and might have a career change soon to make that happen.

Had an interview with hydraulics for river engineering. They said I’ll get to do field work sometimes so that’s exciting lol

Wishing I had gone I to technical sales, if I ever get laid off that is where I am headed. However if it didn't happen when oil went negative I don't think it will happen at 100bbl.

CivE degree here, have never worked as an engineer though

I don't consider myself a real engineer as i think engineers are supposed to design shite, but i'm an industrial engineer.
Mainly do QC work.
