Because you are arguing that another country's professionals
are not "real professionals" because they don't meet the

"professionals" (last figure I heard, about 2,000,000) and
employed as such without the need to be "Licensed
Professionals."


My father is a retired engineer (civil, mechanical, structural) and had to
be licensed in each state that he worked in. This gave him the option of
adding P. E. after his name, though I don't remember him ever doing that.
He's a modest kind of guy.
