I think that job satisfaction has a lot to do with the work environment. When I was teaching at my last school in Columbus, Ohio, I loved teaching. I was very satisfied and happy. Unfortunately, it was only a temp teaching job and people don't generally leave schools like that to make new positions.
I'm overall not satisfied with teaching now because the kids aren't learning and I've tried everything I know of to try to reach them. I'm finishing my seventh year of teaching and have gotten my master's degree in curriculum and instruction. However, unless I find a better school, I'm out. I have found more frustration than satisfaction in the past couple of years.
I think people should do what they love and find a positive environment to do it in. I'm doing what I love, but not in the right place...someday it'll happen again.
