@eternalsunshine: just basic things, experience overall. I've heard a lot of people complaining about the time they have to devote to school. People say that MD/PhDs don't have a life, they suck at both MD and PhD and so on. I'm just trying to know how it really is. Is it as bad as people complain? 
Also, if you have time, please read the article samaebaji posted above. Is it really like that?


@samaebaji: I read the article and it was scary but not scary enough to divert my mind from science. As an undergrad, I have already faced some challenges the writer faced and I haven't given up and I'm not going to give up. Scientists, from what I understand and experience, face more failures than success. When I work in lab, the chances of getting things done correctly is something like 1 out of 10 because I'm trying to do something that no one has done before. And this applies to all scientists. A person who doesn't know how to fail will never become a good scientist and the person who wrote the article is one of those who is afraid of failing. 
And it's not certain that everyone will have a bad like him/her. It depends on how well a person can handle his life. 
Thanks for sharing the link, it was fun reading it.
