In the US most engineers do not have the PE and many (might be most, but I couldn't find the numbers) do not take the FE exam.

In the States most people working on software have computer science degrees, not software engineering degrees.

In general there is not a huge amount of certification overhead for engineers in the US, despite what some people seem to think, and I'm quite happy that's the way it is.

I was mostly looking for perspectives on how requiring credentials like these impacted actual work and workplaces.
