@starsandrobots Many geeks at that age play around with tech, but aren't thinking about future livelihood. What set you on a career path? -
@flipzagging hard to learn to machine things inside your own house! Was ambitious to lead my high school robotics team, wanted skills. -
@flipzagging to be clear! While I showed up at 9AM every day that whole first summer was unpaid. I didn't expect pay, they had no program. -
@flipzagging someone interceded to see that I got paid starting the 2nd summer, and they paid me decently after that. -
@flipzagging (so I guess tldr is I wanted to do stuff and that looked like my vehicle; wasn't really thinking about livelihood)
