New Challenge fof an Structrual Engineer
(OP)
Greetings,
I am looking for a new challenge. I have recently obtained my PE license and plan to take my SE exam in Oct of this year. I have been studying for the SE exam since last Oct and even took a refresher course with hopes of taking the exam this April. I was not able to register in time and have lost steam in my preparation for the exam. I was wondering if any other engineers have obtained other certifications that were useful and challenging. I looked on the American Concrete Institute Certification Program site. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with these programs? Or can make other suggestions?

Are you just looking for a goal to reach for? The SE is pretty tough. Why don't you just concentrate on preparing for that and see where that leads?

You are on the right track. Don't confuse certifications with experience. You have all the certifications you need to be very successful in this career; just work on getting the experience you need now to know how to best apply those certifications.
