As of November 10, 2022, I am officially a licensed Professional Engineer in the state of California!
It is a feat that I could have only dreamed of a few short years ago. Now that once-distant dream has come true. I feel…. just meh. Perhaps a bit relieved because I never have to see another horizontal curve question ever again.
I think my apathy is the product of my environment. Literally everyone around me has their PE license, so it’s only natural that I get mine. In fact, I could have gotten my PE back in April of this year. What took so long? I guess I am doomed to only look uphill. Still so much to do! So much to learn! Many more mountains to climb! Next step: passing the SE exam.
Nevertheless, I recognize that this is a notable career milestone. Reflecting back on my first quarter of life, there were several key people who played a vital role in my life. For better or worse, they made me into the person I am today! Subtracting any one and my life trajectory changes completely!
I cannot be more grateful for these people! Thank you to everyone else I’ve ever worked with!
Now, where is my lambo!?
