[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My BIL had enough credit to graduate, but never paid overdue library fines so they withheld his diploma. He managed to get away with being employed for a long, long time, but once he ran into other issues with his employer, they used the graduation thing to fire him.  Though, he keeps finding jobs fine (mechanical engineer) so either he's pulling the same fast one with other employers or they just don't care.[/quote]

Are you saying a professional engineering couldn't/wouldn't pay library fees? If I was hiring, I'd pass over that person if I found out just because it's such a stupid thing that could be taken care of so easily. Why is he so petty?[/quote]

In most states, engineers are required to have a professional degree before taking their licensing exams.  Your BIL is most likely unlicensed and not an engineer. If he claims otherwise, he could be found guilty of fraud.  You can search for his name with the state licensing board.  [/quote]

That really depends on the field.  Many civil engineers are licensed Professional Engineers, but it's not at all unusual for a mechanical engineer working for a big firm to not be licensed.  Not saying it's not a crappy thing for the BIL to have done, but just that not being licensed doesn't mean he's not an engineer or that he's committing fraud.[/quote]
