Re: pic: Leveraging FIRST members?

The real world isn't sugarcoated like everything in FIRST tends to be. People speak plainly, and let's be real. While it may be a nice feel good story for companies to sponsor FIRST, the bottom line is the bottom line.

Companies rarely donate out of the goodness of their hearts. More often they donate because of tax breaks, or because they know that by investing in a program that will produce engineers, mathematicians, scientists, technicians, etc, they will be enlarging the pool of skilled workers they can tap into for their own benefit.
