@zkatkat I work in software AND I have an engineering degree, but I can't call myself a "Software Engineer" because in my jurisdiction, "engineer" is a controlled term.

The closest I can get is saying that I'm an "engineering graduate". I would have to get a professional designation from the province to do otherwise.
