<p>I’m currently doing research. Did it for 5 months as a volunteer, and now I’m getting paid for the summer. I really do enjoy it (especially now that I’m getting paid for it because I can actually devote a good amount of time to it), but I never figured out why medical schools like it. Granted, I wouldn’t be doing it as a job if it wasn’t good for medical school (doesn’t pay very well) but it’s an enjoyable job and I’m learning some great things from it.</p>
<p>Anyone here care to enlighten me?</p>
