For the love of the challenge

This is so painful to hear. I'm sorry for this person, but I would like to say that not all teams are like this. Our team warships the team leaders and mentors. We realize there is NO way we could have done what we did, or accomplished as much as we did without them. So first, they are appriciated. As for love? I love our mentors. Mr. Dunbar, Ken Krieger, Lydia Conoway, Mark Chow, Scott Minniman, and the countless leaders that have come before me. They have built our program up from literally nothing, and without them I would not be where I am today, with the love of engineering and design I have developed.
Now, the third facet of that complaint, about it not being for money? Truth be told, engineering is LUCRATIVE beyond belief. I've done designs, even something as simple a logo, for a few hundred dollars. There is money, love, and praise all around, and just because it doesn't ALWAYS happen, but without FIRST, I'd be just another senior kicking an odd little ball.
