ABSTRACT

Researchers are often those who were the best and most curious students in the University. The start of PhD is their first step in the long journey towards becoming professional researchers and scientist. While other people have to do work that are repetitive, researchers have the luxury to sit and do interesting things while getting paid.

Most scientists, researchers and artists are going to live simple lives because they will never make big buckets of money. However, even the small amount that is the typical wage of a researcher requires justification to the agents of the tax-payers. They are responsible to the taxpayers, but also the global community, the localized society, and to themselves. What is essential is that they get trained to be independent thinkers and researchers while working in teams towards the social benefits.
