Re: Need advices from veterans!
The best thing you can do, in my experience, is specialize in one field, but also learn a bit in everything else.
More important than that, however, is deciding where you are learning from. Online workshops and these forums are good resources but they have nothing on good mentors. Your mentors are the greatest source of information you have access to, and what really set FIRST apart from just learning about these things. Use your mentors as much as you can, always listen to their advice and always be willing to ask questions and actively learn from them.
I cannot stress enough that you need to make the absolute most of your mentors, as they are better than any book or website or anything.
