now to answer your question more directly, does being in FIRST mean you want to be an engineer? most certainly not! my experience in FIRST is probably the reason i'm *NOT* in school for engineering now. i saw what the job entailed and decided that it wasn't what i wanted to do with my life.
Sometimes finding out what the answer is not, is just as valuable as finding what it is. Our team is focused on helping our students find their "calling" in life. For some of them it is Engineering of some sort, for others it may be Graphics or /holds nose/ Journalism or /gets gas mask/ Law. We really don't care too much about where they wind up, as long as they are doing something useful. It's just that much easier if it is somethjing they are well suited to and enjoy.

This is so true, well time to go back to playing at building airplanes.
