Yes. It is two 4 hour exams in one day, a morning and afternoon session. Then, once you get 5 years of working experience, you can take your PE exam to become a professionally license engineer (Professional Engineer - PE). I have almost a year working experience right now, plus I have my Master's already, which is equivalent to 1 year working experience. So, I have 3 more years left before I can take the other test.
Very few people complete those tests, especially on first tries. Kudos. Once you get those, go work in Iraq. 200k+ NONTAXABLE income. You keep what you earn. SYG can be your bodyguard.
I'm not positive which one is tougher, although I'd imagine the next test I'll take will be. For the sheer reason that I will have been out of school and not used any of the general knowledge I gained in school since I graduated. I'm definitely going to need a review course or 10.. Haha..
Well, he might have to spend money on the tutors hes going to need. So the answer is probably no. However, if you touch is peepee, then maybe he'll throw 10 dollars your way.
