re: Spinoff: engineers vs. PE's

I get called an engineer by my employer and he bills for me as a senior engineer. I never took the EIT or FIT or PE tests of any sort. My immediate supervisor is a PE in many states and is a director at the company. He hired me after I reviewed a ton of his people's documents and calculations...he signs the end product, I work as an 'engineer'. I produce analyses and review other engineers' from the company. I'd rather be a scientist, but being an 'engineer' pays more.
