wandering in the wilderness

One of my fellow medical students - an excellent medical student! - took a year off for research prior to fourth year.  I run into her on the elevator from time to time.  What she told me, last time, was, I have a new respect for you MD/PhDs who did research.

I tried to reassure her that it usually takes a year or two to figure out what is going on, but by the third or fourth year, the research should come together.  I don't think that was very reassuring. 

There is a lot of wandering in the wilderness of unknowing before finding your way out.
