Re: Does FIRST only make engineers?

Try being in the same boat, but instead of industrial design you're going into film

Do I want to be an engineer? Nope. I hated math in high school. But my time in FIRST has added a whole new view to the way I look at film. I love pirate swashbucklers from the 40's. Those real-sized ships? Someone made those on a soundstage. There was no filming on location. Someone built a pirate ship. Anyone see the new Batman trailer? Bam, Earthquake Machine.

I don't want to be an engineer. I don't want to build pirate ships or earthquake machines. But because of FIRST I realize that it's someone's job to design these things, and that it's pretty darn cool.
