what is see is people speaking in contradictions; first does indeed seemes to be majorly focused on engineering and as people say it has some mild branching into other areas; and then i read how people want first to involve other things as well; they want first to become "universal"; then they say what they want to do should be covered by first's great and widely ranging opportunities; but the occupations/concentrations people are speaking of (except the person that mentioned "glue") are indeed concentrations; they are the opposites of generality (if that is a word)
there are reasons for focusing on aspects instead of being an extremely wide and far ranging entity; these reasons are why we have different jobs, different skill sets.
if every organization that was made to promote something promoted everything then all we would have is a world full of silly organizations that all do the exact same thing
i'm sure there are programs that promote things that first does not; and first provides opportunities other programs do not; each one has its own niche; not everyone is bend on taking over the world.
i believe expending FIRST too greatly into other areas would destroy what FIRST is.

as for myself i can't ever decide what i want to do; not because i hate everything but because everything (almost) interests me greatly; i am already in college and still can't quite decide on exactly where i wanna go; i have put myself on the computer science track as my initial "vector" but have a feeling it isnt going to last long; perhaps i am falling a victim of a certain lack of focus... even in computer science there are different "sub"-fields that one might take (if the plan is to becomes sufficiently advanced); its kinda of hopeless...
