If you're going for an EIT without a degree, you're required to have 20 years of experience (in my state at least). Any decent engineering firm is going to have a quality control process in place to ensure that someone reviews drawings before they're stamped and signed (maybe not necessarily the person stamping and signing them).
Yes, there is a level of trust involved, but "I had four other projects going" is not going to be an acceptable excuse if a bridge collapses.
