in the Engineering world there is an independent “credential / licensing” process separate from the ‘degree’. It involves a two stage test process where the first test stage is taken anytime after college and the final test stage usually after some work experience. To maintain your license there are on-going “training” requirements (professional development) but never a retest. You can let your license lapse, and can renew with refreshing your professional development.
On a side note, in my experience the new money folks are the less snooty in the real world. They respect and take care of the hard workers in our society. I learned from my parents who never made it out of the lower-middle economic strata. Luckily I made it a little higher but will never forget where I came from.
I appreciate your perspective. Well said in my mind.
Loved your pod cast!! You probably know,
