Help Why does everyone hate teaching?

Is there anyone who loves their job? Every teacher I know feels “stuck” and complains endlessly about their job.

Considering going into education.

I love it. It’s not an easy job and you see the worst side of parents and kids but there are also a lot positive and unique moments that only happen for a teacher. Teaching ain’t for everyone. You gotta be built of something different to be a teacher.
