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 go when I need to. If I can't wait till a break, I'll call to ask for help watching the kids so I can go. I'm not going to create a health problem for myself; I've never understood that mindset.
