Alex began his first year of college as an electrical engineering major, but midway through the term, he began to doubt his decision. Alex had been skipping class and failing to turn in his homework. He didn't know who to turn to for advice, so he made an appointment with his career advisor. In their meeting, his advisor told him the best foundation for commitment—a sought after competency in the workplace—is to be engaged in an academic program where you wake up every morning eager to go to class. Alex realized he wasn't committed to the major he had originally chosen and began seeking alternatives that better met his interests and abilities. Why is commitment important to your future success?
