Here's my advice.

Come back and be a mentor. It's the most rewarding thing I do, and it's played a huge part in my life. Working with a group of young kids who can't wait to work hard and learn is an incredibly awesome and inspiring experience. I've helped lots of kids, and FIRST has helped me. There's a whole other side to FRC once you're no longer a student. Find a local team and join! Every team and event could use your help.

I don't encourage people to do FIRST in college. There's so much to do in college, and FRC will still be around once you graduate, so I'd encourage you to join an engineering project team, find a job/internship, or try to get the most out of your education.
