Re: Unrelated?
I'm a Digital Media Arts major, but I wouldn't say it's unrelated to FIRST. While it's not science or engineering, it's still something that was essential to my experience with my FIRST team and the organization as a whole. Graphic design (flyers, t-shirt logos, button designs) and web design are two things I significantly improved on because of FIRST.
So I might not get to build robots in school, but I do get to create drag & drop web applications to "Build your own robot" or put together informational brochures advertising robots or competitions. I get to design t-shirt logos around robot functions.
Somehow, once FIRST hooks you, everyone finds a way to do something related with it.
Even molecular biologists - trust me, my mom is one, and she's in FIRST still. =)
