I am wondering what kind of jobs the adults have...

Most of the adult mentors on the team work in the engineering field, such as toolmakers, electrical engineers, or CAD Drafters like my self. But then you have the other end of the scope- One of our parent mentors owns his own wedding video business. I think it's good to have mentors/parents/helpers that come from a variety of different backgrounds. Even though some may think the most important part of the compitition is engineering a robot in six weeks, that's not all that is involved as probably all of you know. There is public relations, accounting, marketing, or just plain being there to make posters or banners to show team support. But anyways, the more people you get involved with a program like FIRST, the better it is for the indivual student's to learn the skills that will help them when they enter the (GASP) "REAL WORLD"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
