69. So what does it mean when you get all those letters after your name?

70. The long answer Engineering is a profession. People respect you and companies reward you for what you can do. Having a professional qualification tells your fellow engineers and every employer you work for that you have achieved the professional standard. Sometimes the qualification will open doors for you, sometimes, if you don’t have it, those doors will remain shut in your face. Your professional qualification will do a lot for you over many years.
