Research? What?

[ohnoes]

<p>Looking at all these college applications with research and such on them, I can't help but wonder where they are from. How do people like me who live out in the middle of nowhere with no money do research? Do we go to a dumpster and build tools from scratch, or just do other, less interesting things? </p>

<p>Is there any possible way to do research (well, other than boring computer programming) without any resources?</p>

<p>Here's what I do to start up research projects. </p>

<p>a) Find an interesting idea. This is very important
b) Do some research on that idea and find a problem to solve
c) Find a professional (teacher, doctor, professor, etc.) to help you in your quest
d) Solve the problem
e) Write it up</p>
