Research? Options

[*mona lisa*]

It may be a stupid question to ask considering the average age of cBers here but has anyone done or is currently doing research? As in working with an organization or in a professor's lab and helping with their research?

While in college, I was working in the History of Art department. We were issued a dossier with information about certain spots of high artistic value within Barcelona that needed urgent reparations. Our job was to take pictures of the damaged parts and write reports for each one of them, as well as perform an overall analysis of the building, landmark, etc...

It was quite tiring and insanely boring, but it was good training for what supposedly should have been one of my possible jobs later on. It offered us the opportunity to put our theorical knowledge into practice, we got free entrances to museums and closed buildings and also got to play with top of the line photography equipment .

I totally recommend it.

Upper-year students say they have had such great experiences doing research with a professor. Many of the professors I have as course instructors or have met are really wonderful. I suppose the biggest problem is getting a good GPA down as it's so very competitive at my university. :(

Hahaha. Oh, good, you admitted it because I was going to say that's quite boring. Interesting to learn about historic artifacts and buildings but studying them that way?.. Quite boring. I like the free entrances to museums part though. :)

Well nope, but I am doing a research paper on Cyberbullying.

That's perfect for you.
