Some of your statements in this last post made me think of a couple of things.
1. On 418, in the past we've had a couple of students who joined the team as Seniors so that they could put the robotics experience on their college applications. After being on the team for only a year and facing graduation, they were sorry that they hadn't joined sooner - as in their freshman year. The good part of it was that they did have that year with the team and were able to experience it. The original shallowness deepened into commitment to something they didn't expect, FRC Team 418.
2. In Chief Delphi there have been many discussions regarding college, choices, decisions, education - and they have been very interesting. Here is a link to one of them.
