    In the US you can call yourself nearly anything. Our protected titles are usually very specific:

    Medical Doctor, Professional Engineer, Certified Professional Accountant, and so on.

      Depends on the state. In some states, using the title of Engineer is considered practicing engineering, so if you use it without having a PE you can be fined.
