Go to Post People misuse GP because they see Dean as some sort of whimsical cross between the Nutty Professor and Mister Rogers and think that FIRST is Disney World and we're all going to happily hold hands around the campfire and sing happy songs all day long. - Koko Ed [more]

Wow. That's pretty much exactly what I needed to hear...

I've been pretty set on software development for the past few years...but I guess now that college is getting closer, I'm afraid that a CS degree wouldn't involve any of the fun stuff we get to do in FIRST. So it sounds like CE is a great balance between the two, hardware and software.
