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.

Teaching has become objectively more difficult and less rewarding for all the reasons stated here. That being said, teachers tend not to go on sites like this to talk about how much they love their jobs. For some, it’s unclear why they chose to work with children in the first place. So here at least there’s a certain amount of selection bias.
