Where has FIRST gotten you?

Hi Chief Delpi

FIRST has sent many students into the workforce, college, and trade schools. I am trying to put together statistics for sponsors, and I’d like a ballpark idea of what happens to FIRST Students. If you haven’t graduated, and you are certain you know what you are doing (or are currently doing), feel free to vote as well. Again, ballpark.

If you could kindly fill out the polls below, that’d be greatly appreciated. If you have some a certain aspect of FIRST that is worth sharing that isn’t covered, feel free to reply to it. If you don’t understand something, just do your best. If you still don’t know, just ask.

  • I went to college
  • I entered the workforce out of high school
  • I went through an apprenticeship sometime in my life
  • I entered the military out of high school
  • I entered the military some time in my life
  • I went to a trade school outside of high school
  • I went to a trade school while in high school
  • I work as a first responder/hero, or have been one before (volunteer or paid)

Thanks!

With the normal caveat of Chief Delphi not being especially representative of the general team population, you might find more accurate statistics here: Impact | FIRST

I mean…I’m almost never certain I know what I’m doing.

I regret not putting that as an option now. But that’s a good quality!
