I am completely unsure of my career, but I would love to go into Business Communications. There's a huge variety of classes I can be taking under this program, so I will have time to decide under which section of Communications I want. I'm so excited!

FIRST really helped me decide what I wanted to do. When I first started in FIRST (xD) I really had no idea what to do. I went from being a Civil Engineer like my dad to being a teacher, to being a counselor, to being a journalist, then to a programmer, then to total confusion. Finally, when I got into FIRST, I didn't know mechanical, but wanted to learn. Instead, I got pulled into the business work; letters, Chairman's, photography, etc. I enjoyed that a lot more, since it was the behind the scenes work, and it was more laid back than the stresses of trying to get a robot working in 6 weeks. Instead, since I love to write, take pictures, I stuck with it, and it's been so rewarding.

Thank you FIRST!

I'm so glad there's such a variety of careers that are blossoming out of FIRSTers. So amazing what can come out of such a program. Don't know of one like it yet! Doubtful there will be on either. FIRST is in a category all its own.
