Couldn't agree more with audiman08 re: motivation being the offspring of interest.
Like you, Sid, I entered college with an image of my career after college and signed up for courses to realize that goal rather than signing up for courses that actually interested me. I ended up switching majors to something that was more intrinsically interesting to me and never had motivation problems again.
I have quite a bit of respect for people with the self discipline to study/succeed at something that really doesn't speak to them because it is part of a greater goal, but in my case I'm just not wired that way. I consider this to be the college aspect of the career adage about finding something that you love to do so you'll never work another day in your life.
