You realize that a lot of us "network" and "computer" folk have put in just as much time and effort as a practicing engineer to learn our craft, right? And your dismissive tone makes it pretty clear you've never worked on large systems - things supporting 30 - 40 million customers (the things I build). Sorry that doesn't make me cool enough to be part of your elite club. I'll worry about getting certified when I'm not actually engineering things. No, I'm not a licensed engineer. But I have corrected IETF and IEEE EE's with phds and patents who have several published rfc's between when it comes to system engineering. I have every right to my title.
