Re: Engineering after FIRST

FIRST 'inspired' me to go into engineering, but when I think back... moreso it helped me decide on a major that I could go into, know what to expect, and succeed in. I don't think I'll ever by the 'typical engineer' (if there's even a definition) but I do not regret my decision. Mechanical Engineering is a degree that you can spin off of in any way (could become a lawyer, doctor, teacher, entrepaneur, etc), and you learn how to problem solve. It's also fun and interesting.

Nobody should feel bad about not deciding to get into science or engineering. I think FIRST does a better job of training leaders, and in-turn... those leaders will know how to appreciate the job the scientists and engineerings are doing.

You don't have to be a 'geek' to love FIRST .
