You shouldn't need to be motivated. We already have an excess of college graduates, many of which can't find jobs. If you don't feel that you want to do it now, you certainly won't want to do it when you get there.

This is an easy question. The biggest motivation will be work. Once you work in a couple of s hit hole places for minimum wage and everybody treats you like crap and you have no say and are very expendable then you will want to go to college. Also, discrimination can do it for you. You will get tire of having other people getting promoted even though you can do the job just as good or better for no good reason. Money will be a big issue too. If you ae going to work as a ditchwasher person, would you rather do it for $5.85 per hour or for $10.15 per hour?

Now, the important thing is to study the right thing. philosophy is a very interesting subject but it just doesn't pay the bills. If you have the chance to go to college don't waste it. It will make your life esier afterward.

If you are in high school, go see your counsellor about a career aptitude test. Then check into the requirements for training in that area. If you have already graduated, look up a career counselling service in your local yellow pages.

Tailor your studies to give you the prerequisites for the field you think that you are going to pursue. This may give you more focus regarding why you are doing all of the work you need to be doing. Focusing on the goal ahead really does help sometimes.

A NOTE: Be prepared to discover a love for another area while you are at university/college. Many times students discover that their true area of interest appears, morphs or shifts once they've had a chance to experience the broader range of ideas and opportunities for learning available at the university level.

In the short term, you may need to set up rewards for yourself of things you like to do that you only will allow yourself to do once you've achieved a certain mark on an assignment, test or project. Make sure that the reward is tied to the actual achievement, not to the number of hours you spent on the task. (Rewarding yourself for locking yourself in your bedroom and fiddling with your pencil for five hours only encourages you to waste time.)

Just imagine that one day you'll know just what it is you want to do in life.
You are intensely interested in it, you can earn a living doing it, you will be respected for doing it.
Now imagine that to get to do this wonderful thing you have to prove that you have graduated from college with a good academic record. You have to have gotten some experience in the field you have been studying. This experience could be an internship or independent projects. The knowledge you have has employers really wanting to hire you.

Now know that what you do today either builds you up for your dream or holds you back from achieving it. The choice to study means that you will qualify for that college, for those opportunities. There are a lot of other young people who will want your dream job and they will be working towards it now. You need to make sure that you are putting yourself in a position to get what you want. Study now because it will let you do what you want to in life.

You might want to ask yourself just why you want to go to college. You might be better off just working for a while. A taste of the real world can be an excellent motivator for study, and it's possible that the mere passage of time will help you mature enough so that you're ready for college.

That's essentially what happened with me, and I should have taken this sort of advice. Make sure that it is _you_ who want college, not just your family or friends.

Need motivation. Go to any of your local fast food restaurants ask what they are paying. The minimum wage that they are getting is not productive for a happy life style. Is that enough motivation.

Imagine yourself as a crack-addicted prostitute on the streets of Las Vegas. By the time you are 30 you won't have any of your own teeth. Thats what happens when you don't go to college.

Did that help?

How about imagining yourself as 65 years old living in a box under an overpass. You eat catfood and things picked from trash cans. That's what you get if you stop at an undergrad degree.

Statistically speaking, the more you use your brain the less your chances of obtaining Alzheimer's, or Dementia. This means every time you pick up a book and learn some thing new you are lensing your chances of obtaining one or both of them.

Studying don't only maker you smarter, help you earn more money later in life, help you get the guy you really want, but it is also very healthy.

Remember that getting a job after college will pay good $, usually. Also, by experience, once you graduate from college there is no better feeling than that. You will become independent and will have more job security. Good reasons to want to go to college.
Plus, college is a great self learning experience for you, it makes you smarter. It makes your life more pleasant, your body healthier. People usually get to know themselves so much better and your confidence also grows.

The fact that having a degree opens so many more doors for you then your diploma. Think of it like this, most of the people that go to the job interview has the same diploma as you. You need to stand apart from everyone else. Not everyone has the degree. Not saying you have to have a degree to be sucessful but it helps give more opportunities.
