URL: serverfault.com/questions/265196/… issue still occurs.

What @nathangiesbrecht said also stands in some US states. IIRC South Carolina and Texas are both picky about folks claiming to be an engineer without holding a current PE certificate/stamp from their state. It made my dad so mad (Civil Eng. in multiple states) that I actually fought against being titled an engineer in one job to keep him happy. ;-)

The desire to flag this as not being a question is almost overwhelming. ;-)
