What is it like to be a researcher?
Written by xoail
Well that’s a very interesting question. People usually fall under research based on their interest in pursuing something. On my case, I was more interested in the tuition weaver and some cool bucks in my pocket than any head banging stuff. But I have noticed quite a lot of my friends who enjoy being in research. What I get from them is an essence of being what they want to be. Spending years and years in from of some stupid machine, hoping to come out with a breakthrough. I am not trying to encourage but its just my simple opinion. Anyways, another most important factor for being a researcher is the primary institution. What I mean by this is, in many institutes people wont enjoy being a researcher. They work under a professor or investigator for a purpose but are not happy with it. You must find the right institute to get into it. 
How to get funds for your research project?
Written by xoail
A very important question that always hinder our minds, how to get funds for the research project. Well basically there are many ways but you must select one that really fits you. For example, getting/working under a well known professor may find you easy to get funds but the pain of working under a professor? Let me put it again, put the pain of working under a PROFESSOR??? you know what I mean right? I usualy find creating a prototype of my project and a nice proposal helpful to get investors dingling.  But few people may find it tough. Another hihgly difficult way of sadist is to try hard and make friends with one of the investors. Do not follow up with your project instaly but over a course of time, introduce him/her to the god mode prototype. Anyways this info is only for entertainment purpose, dont get serious with it.
