6

Being a licensed engineerThe PE license allows you to call yourself

a professional engineer

Can have legal authority for engineering work (e.g. sign/stamp drawings, bid for government contracts, own company, serve as expert witness, etc.)

Some states require at least one licensed engineer in a company.
