As someone who reads resumes now and then, I'd think "this guy paid $50 to pad his resume."

If you're an engineer looking to get into project management, spend your money and effort to get your PE if you don't have one.

Practical experience as someone said is most critical. I've had the displeasure of working with 20+ yr engineers who lacked practical experience. There are few excuses for an engineer without practical experience. A good CAD designer is more valuable!

Also, don't gamble on being with any company for more than a few years in the consulting business, if that's what your goal is as a PM. If it works out great, but it's not what one should expect in today's market.
