Skewed Perspective

I've thought long and hard about how I should word this thread without Offending anybody, so here I go.

I am a three year veteran of Team 151, the Wildcards. During my time on the team I learned more than I could have possibly Imagined. However I am afraid that FIRST gave me a skewed perspective of Engineering. I am not saying that the six weeks of build time was not the best time of my life, because it was. I'm talking about how I, myself was exposed to the world of engineering. I interpreted it as a fun, but Stressful, Hard working, but big rewarding program. However after three years of FIRST, I though Engineering was what I wanted to do with my life, even with my lack of math skills. I am now in my First Semester of College at Wentworth Institute of Technology, and have been have serious doubts about even graduating with an Associates. I've made the decision to not return next semester, and pursue something that is more along my alley, Video Production. I digress, My question to all of you is this:


Does FIRST give a skewed perspective of Engineering?


I am requesting a civil argument about this because I'm sure there are people on Both sides. Thank you for reading and commence the argument.
