Re: How has your involvement in FIRST affected your career choice?
Hmm I wish I had this experience when I was in HS but my personal strengths in math and science and the urge to tweak and build things naturally put me in the Mechanical Engineering track. As you guys graduate I applaud you for taking on this path but I also hope you endure through the challenges of an engineering education.

Like Kim, I'm a Systems Engineer with a mechanical background, that's the latest trend in the work environment. Get to know everything from the hardware, software, Electrical etc. If you understand the big picture you have a better grasp of what your role is.

Go MechE's!!!
