It's very common.

If you're hurting that hard as an engineer, you need to address why you're such a shitty engineer.

All, it's all licensed under the same jurisdiction.

To get a CCNP Route/Switch cert, you have to pay at least $1200 total, assuming you pass all the exams the 1st time around, and then $300 to take the exam to renew the cert every 3 years.

Are you referring to the FE exam or applying with a particular company?

All professions have these artificial barriers, perhaps its to maintain the credibility of the profession or to limit the rapid growth of said profession

The malpractice insurance could be a lot more than that. I do not need a professional engineering license in my field. In the USA, chemical engineers do not have their own specific licensure.
