Does it matter if you are licensed or not?

Based on my own experience, no. Based on other agricultural engineers' experiences, still no. It really does not matter if you have passed the board exam or not.

I only know three ways you can go after finishing your agricultural engineering degree. First, which is the most common, work as an employee (probably not as an engineer). Second, start your own business or till your father's farm. Thirdly, despair that you took agricultural engineering at all (because nobody wants to hire you as an engineer).

Are you expecting that the license of an agricultural engineer will have the same function as those of lawyers or civil engineers? Do you expect that you can sign and put your seal on engineering plans and designs after earning your agricultural engineering license? If you know one who has enjoyed his license this way, please introduce me to him/her.
