Back when I worked at Boeing, I was encouraged to get a PE license. I looked into it. I was not impressed with the exam (it was too basic), nor the requirements, and so did not bother.
This is a zero-value post.

"I decided for myself that X wasn't worth me pursuing as a path for my career." Good for you.

I made the same decision for professional photography and cardiac surgery, but both of those careers still hold value to society.

The point was that the PE cert is a low bar as an indication of competence.
