Re: A plea for roboticists
Adam Y --

Another vote for being hired right out of college. Look for the right companies. Be in the right location, too -- California, Pittsburgh, and Boston are the big areas in the US for roboticists. If you search them out, and you're good/passionate, they're wicked excited to have you.

Also (for everyone!), don't underestimate the power of FIRST. Two of my three job offers out of college, all absolute dream offers from wonderful robotics-based organizations, were due to my FIRST involvement and the networking that happened here on the forum and in the organizational stuff I do. Leverage everyone in this community!
