Re: Is business too overlooked by FIRST?

I think there are a few reasons you'll never see this focus within FIRST to inspiring business skills:

1) Business Administration/Management is already the most popular college major.

2) A new FIRST teams long term sustainability is not completely up to the students on the team, on successful (surviving/sustainable) teams, this is mostly a mentor driven initiative. This is not to say there are not exceptions, but usually someone needs to be around for more than a few years to keep the team going.
