Compare this to data from the NSF which reports the average workweek for engineers as 48.64 hours. In general, this thread reminds me of a quote from one of our team members, who said about robotics: "Hobby? Try life!" |
About a dozen years ago when I first met Dean Kamen (which was about one day before I got involved with FIRST) he said this in response to a question about his all-denim wardrobe: "These are work clothes. If I'm awake, I'm working."
We can't all be Dean. But with the right attitude and preparation, we can make careers out of our passions.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
