In my career thus far I have definitely found that challenging and interesting work created the most motivation for me, similar to the results of the poll that Dr. Simon showed in his lecture. When I first started my job, I was placed on a very challenging project that mostly consisted of putting out fires, one after the other. The project kept getting delayed, and many people on the team were losing motivation. I actually found these challenges to be motivating, because my job consisted of trouble shooting and solving problems and I really found it interesting.
