So, I gather that your position is that dispite performing all the duties required of an engineer in my area of work, dispite having arguably more than enough qualification and experience....
I'm still not allowed to call myself a "Network Engineer".That's right! Not in Texas. That's the law. The primary point of a PE is experience working under the supervision of another PE.
If you worked at SBC on PSTN under a BSEE w/ PE, you might could get licensed.
If you are just out there on your own inventing stuff without any input from anyone else with more experience....that is, especially if you are the brilliant leader of all technologies in Network Security, then you are by definition one of the people that should not refer to themselves as a Professional Engineer. So get over it. In Texas you are not a "Network Engineer." Why would you care?

LOL
While the company was not SBC, I did work with a major telco on both their PSTN and data networks. Also with the BSEE and PEs on staff. The reason I find it funny is that I was the one telling there staff what they needed to do. Not only from a "build the network" perspective but I also was working with management on how to implement a staffing and training program that would keep their PEs skills up.
The irony is just too rich.
