Heheheh. I can tell you it is very fun fooling around with people's minds that are not mechanically inclined. My mother tried reading my electronics book and she asks me if there is a translator for it.

*grumble grumble* Yeh, that's what one of the co-captains tries to do with me.

I have my ways of playing with his mind too.

Whoa... I guess I stated that wrong. Sorry.

What should have been said:

A lot of mentors on FIRST teams (I'm kind of being broad and leaving team mom's out - but believe me, I don't appreciate them any less) are engineers, and as a result, a lot of kids that enter or graduate from a FIRST program want to go into a career in engineering, mathematics, science, or technology because of the demonstrations of engineering they have seen.

I am an English major. When I walk into a FIRST meeting, it's kind of a "Past Participle? Gerunds, anyone?"

My main interest is music. I do part time DJing and stuff like that so I'm always watching that sort of stuff at the competition besides driving. I have a big interest in the new intelligent lighting. Don't take this wrong though, I still love FIRST and everything that goes along with it.

I've never really thought about engineering...I guess I was leaning more towards physician or something with literature... but it can always change =)
I kinda don't like how I say I'm on a FIRST team and people go "OH, so you want to be an engineer"...becuase not everyone here wants to be!

what about biomechanical engineering? chemical engineering? civic engineering? there are so many facets to the field of engineering that most people can find a part that they are interested in.

I wanna go in to mech engineering, but want to stay in school, untill I get the PhD, stay in school some more, and teach mech eningeering at the college level. I think that would be a good time, minus all the school stuff.

I used to be gung-ho about growing up and designing robots as a famous engineer, but after starting and leading a team of my initially clueless fellow classmates into being brilliant robot-builders, I"m no longer interested in making up new things. I now plan to be a teacher (and I'm working out a plan with my principal right now to come back and teach at my high school when I"m at college) and I"ll probably still work with some of my current classmates when they"re engineers to make them famous.

i have two choices, neither one of them is engineering, or even engineering related. they are either medicine or law. two very different fields, i know. and i dont want to do a combination of the two. if i go into medicine i want to work in the ER, and if i go into law, i want to be a criminal lawyer.

when i tell people what FIRST is all about, they always look at me and say, "where do you plan to go for engineering?" and every time i tell them i dont want to be an engineer. i like FIRST because it gives me a chance to broaden my interests and try new things, but engineering as a career is just not for me.

for as long as i can remember, i've wanted to get into business. I'm really liking the sound of international business or management so that i can minor in german, since i really like german, and i'm studying abroad for two months this summer over there. (which is sad because i miss IRI and other fun robotics events, not to mention a lot of dance practice and dance camp. laugh all you want- i'm a multipurpose nerd.) anyways, since becoming involved in FIRST, i've decided i want to get involved with an engineering or automotive business, but not as an engineer. (ooh.. german car companies) lately, i've also discovered i really like history and politics, so maybe i'll double major with political science.... because that just seems cool.

But see, FIRST really isn't limited to engineering... in most jobs you're going to need to know how to interact with people and communicate well to get something done, and what better way to learn how to interact and communicate with others than in a team environment when we're all working towards a goal? that's the main reason i joined FIRST to begin with.

i give engineers a lot of credit for what they do, but i don't think i could be one myself. i have no patience.
