Hey I know the CIA wants engineers. I don't know why but they really really really want engineres. So much so that they were trying to recruit FIRST students at Atlanta. I got a pin and a pen light that didn't work.(I hope they don't want engineers to design pen lights.)
CIA
IRobot
Nuts and Volts or Servo Magazine
Animatronics

I think its more important to be good at what you do then to do what you want and suck at it. Engineers are the only thing preventing the technological meltdown of modern soceity. A minor mistake could kill many, many, people. Remember, with mass manufacturing, your mistake could copied millions of times.

Actually there have been many many engineering mistakes when you think about it. There have been a few arenas that I know of that collapsed. The Tacoma Narrows bridge was technically built correctly even though it collapsed. I could go on but I really can't remeber anymore.
