A few things sparked by this thread.

1. To those who talked about the PE license: Thank you for the information.

2. For those who have multiple master's degrees: a) why do you and b) what are the benefits, if any?

3. Do you treat graduates of an accredited engineering school differently than a non-accredited? I know a student who wanted to transfer from a non-accredited school to an accredited one only to find that the classes wouldn't be counted since they were taken at a non-accredited school.

4. To reiterate what JVN said:

I had a prof. that had a PhD. He told the class the following one day.

"You get a bachelor's and think you know everything. You get a master's and realize you don't know everything. You get a PhD and realize you know nothing."

5. I am in my last year of attaining a bachelor's in Manufacturing Systems Engineering and Management. (All one major.) I ended up here in a very round-about way, but I am finding that the classes in Lean Manufacturing and CAD were the most fun for me to this point. I have will get all of my automation classes this coming year, but I expect that they will be great fun since I love machining, a touch of programming (doing CNC code from scratch), and designing components for FIRST Robots.

My ideal job would be to either: 1) work in automation/robotics or 2) combine my love of manufacturing with my love of food. I can even envision using a CNC and an Inkjet Technology Rapid Prototyper to carve or build things using chocolate.

My dream if I won the lottery: Open a bakery that was run by robots from baking to cashiering!
