Although I am a mechanical engineer by training, my job is nowhere near as fun as Joe J's or Ken P's. I don't get to design or make anything. I am a senior project manager. Like the director of a film we only get to make sure everyone does their job and the final product is what it was intended to be. We get all of the stress and none of the fun of actually producing something. No wonder I need to get involved in FIRST - It gives me the opportunity to 'get my hands dirty' from January to April just like I used to do when I started at Motorola. Besides that, I love showing the kids how things work. Regardless of what anyone thinks, it is a lot less stressful to deal with all kinds of high school students than it is to deal with VP's when things aren't going right.
