I spent all four years of high school involved with Bobcat Robotics, but I never planned on going into engineering--- In fact, I just finished my first year as a communications major at Boston University.
I still got a TON out of my experience with the team. I had the chance to try video/PR/administration/strategy/driving/a little bit of everything.
WHen UTC began sponsoring the New England Regional in '99, I worked at the event doing media relations, and that summer through the contacts I made I was able to get a job at their corporate headquarters in the communications department, where I still work when I'm back from school. Sometimes I even get to work on planning for FIRST-- does it get any better than that?
