I have worked with remedial reading groups with second grade students, so I know that I enjoy the students. At present, I am a school food service bookkeeper and there is little variety in my job. Teaching gives opportunity for variety and freedom to use your own ideas in your job. Extrinsic rewards of teaching like higher pay, shorter work time, and teacher benefits are very appealing reasons for considering a teaching career. Intrinsic rewards like the feeling of accomplishment in helping students learn and grow are very appealing too.
Teaching offers many self-satisfying rewards in return for the effort put forth.
Students need teachers who seek self-satisfaction in return for the job they do. It is like looking to see what a child needs and finding pleasure in filling those needs. There is more than one reason to go into teaching. I feel that some people feel called to teach. Some know at a young age that teaching is the career they will seek.
