View submission: What drives you to stay teaching?

It's better than many other jobs I have done before.

It's not a hamster wheel like customer care or factory work. There's nothing wrong with those jobs, they just bore me to tears.

There is a small degree of freedom and creativity.

I talk about things I like.

Kids may be a tough audience, but they're really interesting and keep me on my toes.

Every day is different. Sometimes in a good way, sometimes...well. No job is perfect.

It's a practical job with practical results, and that's important for me. Tangible results keep me motivated.

Anyway, I still have 20 years to go...I hope I will have the energy to keep going 'til retirement.
