I earned and wear a ring, but am not a PEng.
I have mostly worked in technical sales. Whenever one of my colleagues calls me an engineer in front of a customer I clarify that I have an engineering background but I'm not a PEng. It has serious implications for liability, but the distinction is not well understood in society.
No it's a matter of proving competence through documented, supervised work experience, and THEN paying dues.
