Any idea what field he is going into? Maybe the FIRST community can give him a hand.

Disclaimer: Nate is my oldest son and the reason I got involved in FIRST.

He spent 4 years on a FRC team.
His experience in FIRST helped him get into UPENN.
He majored in Mech. Engineering and minored in Engineering Entrepreneurship.
He's made hundreds of friends along the way, already following the advice of Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, who was his commencement speaker. http://www.detnews.com/article/20090...your-computer-

But nothing could have prepared him to get woken up yesterday with a call that he was on the front page of the NYT and page 2 of the Wall Street Journal. It's been fun watching the 2 AP photos spread around the world!
