Bear said:As an engineer and am part qualified (half way through) to become a chartered engineer, I dont agree with his definition of being called an engineer only when you have achieved chartered status.
I think there should be a minimum standard of education that is accredited like the IET guidelines say and that should be enough.
Having a title of chartered engineer of which you have to pay for to retain the title is just BS which was why I decided to give up on it.
You might think that but not having it will severly limit your career choices later on
It's stupid to have to pay to keep it, I admit, but you are supporting the IET which is a good thing. To get the status requires a fair bit of work too
