Is research background necessary?

We come across tons of success stories every day. The old school ones were lucky enough just to graduate from bachelor's and land their dream jobs in which they spent decades. For younger ones, it is kind of struggle to find what to do for a lifetime career since there are too many things to choose from. I can see my classmates from university and grad school switching jobs very often.

All over the world, the age to start University or College is around 18-19. At that age, we all just want to have fun and don't really care about what real life will be. On one side, it is very cruelly to put so much responsibility on one's shoulder at a very young age, on the other side, after years of changes in education systems, apparently, this is the best way for higher education.

Most of the Universities don't require their Bachelor students to be involved in the research. Only the top students are given a chance to study further and go into good research institutes and learn how to research.

As an active student, being in only top 10 in class and having chance to do research at a very early age due to my language skills, I highly believe everyone should be given a chance to discover that special way of working. It is still not required in most fields to know how to research, however, a researchers way of thinking should be crucial for critical and creative thinking.
