From MET to ME

Certain companies will treat MET degrees different than ME. My company pays MET “engineers” over $10,000 less per year (entry level) and ME engineers. One guy I know couldn’t be called an engineer in his company because he had a technology degree. He was called a specialist and the only way he was able to attain the engineer position was to get his PE degree. A tech degree can provide more hands-on experience than a regular engineering degree but the two degrees are not always treated as equal because they are in fact different.
