So you want to take a research degree...

That's good. There's absolutely nothing wrong with doing a PhD or a master's degree with research. But if you decide to do so, just make sure:
1. You believe that the 2-5 years time you spend is really worth it.
2. You have a strong interest in the research topic you're about to take.
3. Some supporting background, may that be experience or knowledge, in you research topic would definitely help.
4. Better get a really good supervisor for your thesis work. By saying good, i mean that he/she should at least have followed the latest development on the subject. Or even better, she/he had actually worked with significant experience in the topic you are about to dive in.
5. Being idealistic is a good thing. But sooner or later you will inevitably learn that being realistic helps more often ;-)

So good luck to all. And to myself... :-(

Kalo mo ngasih orang lain encouragement, make sure bukan emotic icon seperti itu yg ditampilin. Itu tanda pesimis bukan optimis!!!
Icon seperti itu hanya membawa aura negatif dan ambivalensi bagi pembacanya, so kalo bisa dihindari, key^_^
