This thread has gone completely nuts! 
Don,
I agree with your comments! 
However to answer this other concern: Yes, you can sit for the PE exam
without a  degree, in some states, but the regulations are not the same as
with. I'm only familiar with MA; BS_E EIT and 4 years experience, BS_ET or
other 4 year engineering/science degree EIT and 8 years experience, other
degree EIT and 12 years experience, no degree no EIT and 20 years
experience. That's just to qualify to take the exam! Please consider that
the people in authority have some interest in insuring that only qualified
people are licensed.
