dear all,
i'm a student just amateurly exposed to research.
what i want to know is whether research aptitude is innate or is it something that can be developed as one progresses in life?
i ask this because, a few ppl that i recently came across proclaim that the reason they don't consider phd as an option is coz they arent 'phd material'.
is there any such thing like that?
from what i know about scientific research, i find it very interesting but i don't know whether i just know it superficially. since rite now I'm at crossroads faced with options of an industry job and university research, i want to make an informed decision. I'm afraid that i might not be 'research material' in the future..
if one is dedicated and patient, is research 'failure-proof' ?
thanks.
