How many of you are Professionally Registered?

I became professionally registered in 2003, without a Masters Degree and with no mentoring.   My submission was based entirely on my 20 years experience as a design engineer, and I found the process fairly straightforward: submisison of a log book, an auto-biographical report which proved my competence in all learning outcomes, and finally an interview with the board.  I believe the process is, however, more complex now.   I would say that becoming registered is very beneficial if you wish to work abroad, or in academia, but less so for industry, although I suspect this will be changing now.
