Motivation Basics

There are essentially two types of motivation:
  1. Intrinsic motivation – This is when you are motivated by "internal" factors to meet your own personal needs. Most hobbies and leisure activities are based on intrinsic motivation. We do them because we enjoy them, not because we have to.
  2. Extrinsic motivation – This is when you are motivated by "external" factors that are given or controlled by others, for example, by salary, extra credit on an assignment or by praise. Our jobs are usually based on extrinsic motivation, although there will be some intrinsic motivation involved if you enjoy aspects of what you do.
Successfully completing school will be extrinsically motivating since it is the means to achieving your career goal.  Realistically most people probably wouldn't go to work if we weren't being paid!  Therefore choose a career that you would  enjoy and the work will be intrinsically motivating.
