text: how do i motivate myself to want to work in college? any techniques?   you make two separate  lists, one of the pros and one of the cons if you find you have more "cons" than "pros" you are thinking negatively, don't really want to go to college anyway and prefer to remain as thick as two short planks.  this will lead to a life of sitting about at home, irritating your parents, becoming more and more bored and ending up in a job you really aren't suited for, not educated enough for and loosing friends who can't be bothered with a loser who isn't bright enough to see his future prospects.
