Re: How has your involvement in FIRST affected your career choice?

As fun as FIRST is, I have had the same career goal since middle school. I enjoy working with my hands, I enjoy design and fabrication as well. But I dont want to do that for a job. Besides, if I can have a job of my choice, as well as doing FIRST on the mentor level, I still will have all the benefits, minus the pay.


Just my 2 cents.
