What's your day job?

[Jon K.]

I love the fact that this thread has been resurrected. I am fortunate to have a job that lets me work with FIRST and FIRST teams year round as the manufacturing manager for AndyMark. I love the fact that my passion in high school gave me the opportunities it has, and that I now get to do what I do to support thousands of other students from across the globe achieve their dreams and their own successes. I am often asked why I don't mentor a team, and if I wasn't supporting thousands of build seasons between FIRST® Tech Challenge and FIRST® Robotics Competition, I probably would. But then again, I would have the chance to volunteer as much as I do, and I wouldn't have had the chance to meet as many new friends like I have.

No matter what your dream, or day, job is, keep doing what you love and eventually things will work out in the end.
