    Given someone else's work...

    BJC, Sure, I thought about work from the day I wake up to the day I'm about to go to bed. I agree with all of you about what comes out of those hours. What I'm saying is that, at some point, you have to be able to say NO to your boss. I have experienced that I work 60 hours/week for almost 4...

    Given someone else's work...

    I'd be more carefull to spend more than 45 hours/week. I did in my early years and it didn't benefit me. 40-50 hours is OK, not more than that. 1. You can be taken adavantage by willing working long hours. Your boss will fill you with more work, thinking that you are OK to work long hours. 2...

    Is it worth it to get a PE license?

    Well...yes and no. If I take the test, passed it, use it often, and keep updating my analytical skill, then I am (in one sense) a better engineer. On the other hand, if I take the test, passed it, rarely used it, and don't update my analytical skills, then I'm no better engineer. You are right...
