Hey Deej!

For what it's worht I'd go with your MQP over the FIRST experience for this year. What the others are saying is very true. You can always come back to FIRST and the experience you are going to get with your MQP can be brought back to FIRST and your newly found knowledge can be imparted on all those FIRST folks.

Also remember that once May rolls around you will have a whole new set of choices as to where to work/live and which FIRST team to work with or whether to start a new one!

FIRST is a cool thing......But doing the college thing is the RIGHT thing.

It will pay off better for you in the long run.

Good luck and hope to see you soon

Brian
