During my interaction with the young researcher (age less than 30), I found many of them are stressed and are not happy with their work/outcome of the work.
Many of them are not able to state the proper objective of doing research, although they have immense potential.
I want to hear from the senior Professors actively dealing with young researcher.
Making a living by research has become a hard job, due to the economization (assembly line) of science. Many topics can be methodically perfected, but are 'spirit or soul killers' and can cause unhappiness (sensing emptiness). Disconnection from a 'higher meaning' of your work causes stress and pain, even if you get paid well for it.

Very important to made the change between the University,
in the period of summer - the common expéditions...
And the stage in big town...

Dear Mohd Imran Khan, I will score you "A" for this observation if I have this chance. It is true, that most young researchers are tired, frustrated and stressed up. Sometimes you wake up and get confused, sometime look in all directions and you think every researches needed to be embarked on has been done and perfected, sometimes you rise and fall and no mentor to pick you up and encourage you, sometimes you think of idea within yourself on a research and while still searching oversea for equipment to be used, you find publications on your so called "secret idea". Most young researchers remain hidden and find it difficult to match up especially in Africa because of low technology, lack of fund and most importantly lack of mentorship.
Surely, there are now so many researchers and so much competition that trying to get recognised in respective fields is immensely difficult-therefore of course young researchers will get frustrated. And as Segun infers, there seems hardly anything original to discover now. Even I, going through archives constantly come up with my own new, original ideas staring me in the face.
In my opinion, the main reason is the today's education system, which is aimed only at producing consumers of knowledge, rather than creators of knowledge. Unfortunately, the trend of frustration among young scientists will increase dramatically only and in the end we can lose science in general, as there will be nobody to develop it in the future in conditions of total mental degradation around the world. Everyone already observes the colossal difference in education levels now and 50-60 years ago, this difference is huge. Therefore, it should not be surprising that most young scientists are disappointed, since this is simply a trend of general mental degradation. What to do? Nothing needs to be done, because science is never created by coercion, science is created thanks to the enthusiasm and inspiration of gifted people from God.
The reason for this frustration is that most of them are not given the real opportunity to show their research capabilities. Researchers, especially in developing countries, are not interested in turning their research into useful economic projects.
