I have worked as a broadcast engineer since 1975, including 10 years with a
consulting firm, prior to having any degree.


As for the Electrical PE, you must have a BSEE or BSEET (ET from an TAC-ABET
accredited program) to even sit for the FE exam, serve an up to 4 year
apprenticeship (ET 8 year) to sit for the PE exam. While the exams are
controlled by the NCEES, a national organization, you are only licensed in
the state for whose exam you sit. There is some reciprocal licensing
between states, but it is not uniform across the nation.
