Here in Illinois architects can stamp whatever they want practically.

I worked for a while for a chiller manufacturer as a PLC engineer and commissioning guy. We did a lot of custom skidded projects. I think a one man shop would be hard. There's always service/warantee/customer support issues that might require some field support. What about sales that requires...

Glad I'm not just imagining things about my state. Be glad you're on the south side and not in the Kingdom of Chit-cago. It gets progressively worse. I found this on-line as an example of what I'm talking about/looking for: The following statement regarding home inspection and building...

Mike, I doubt I would find a state of bliss from the practice of engineering, enjoyment a lot of times, but not bliss. Maybe not yet. The reason I ask is that I find that in my state, Illinois, an architect can stamp whatever they want if they are willing to take the risk. Many are. There are...

KENAT, Good point KENAT, but I won't offer any engineering services. I will offer tech and engineering support initially(CAD, programming, field support, etc.). I will only offer my services to licensed professionals NOT to the public. I will show my experience as a competative...

Even if you're not that old there's always re-runs. Which still haven't been on for a while. It was a knight chess piece.

Hello all! I have a question regarding business cards. I've been unemployed for about 6mo. now. I'm not a PE yet, will be next year.(God willing!)I think I'm going to turn on the marketing heat and start offering tech/engineering support services in my field/s. I don't want to go full out and...

If he is paying you as an employee, then insurance should be his problem in my opinion. Mabey if its your costs then you should ask for conditional ownership plus a percentage of the gross. Mabey 3-5% or something. If he gets his PE or wants someone else he can conditionally, get rid of you...
