I know one guy who's a very prominent engineer but stubborn as a mule. He's got a couple of friends who really trust his work who he pulls in on projects that need a stamp, and they'll stamp it, but he's refused to get his PE license as a matter of principle. He thinks the whole system is stupid.

I... don't recommend this course of action.

Still, don't worry about licensure yet. It's hard to screw up licensure requirements at the point where you're at right now... Just work towards a degree. They'll still pay you even if you don't have a license, so you'll be able to earn money, and it's not something you'll need to be concerned with yet. Plenty of concerns with passing classes and whatnot without having to think about PE licenses yet.
