For good reason. When I get a plan stamped by an Engineer I want to make sure they're certified to make sure my thing doesn't fall over / collapse.

I am a Software Developer - I did not graduate from an Engineering college. I am not an Engineer. The stuff I do does not kill people when it fails.

99% of people that claim to be Engineers (at least in Software) are not.

Oh? OK technically maybe not your job specifically, but ever hear about Therac-25? MCAS on the 737-MAX?
