Story of my life.
I have worked in the technology field for 18 years. There are few jobs that require one to learn new concepts more rapidly and constantly than mine - and that is a fact. If I didn't love to learn, I couldn't do what I do. At least not well!
Yet, between 6th and 11th grades, I wasn't a good student in school. What is that all about? When my parents decided to try paying me for good grades, as well as making me pay for bad ones, they really thought that might work. Following are the rules they used in high school:
A = $20, B = $10, C = $0, D = -$20, F = -$50
I got straight Cs. I don't pay, you don't pay, everyone is happy, right? So, they altered it slightly:
A = $20, B = $10, C = -$10, D = -$20, F = -$50
You guessed it, I got a 2.5 GPA or very close to it. Clearly, I had complete control over my grades, so what was the problem?
I needed reasons, beyond money, to do the work...
