OMG, you get 3 months off and still are unhappy? Wait a minute, you're working with kids. Sorry forgot about that. Ok, I get it.

Only a third of teachers say they’re extremely or very satisfied with their job overall, according to a fall 2023 Center survey of public K-12 teachers. About half (48%) say they’re somewhat satisfied, while 18% say they are not too or not at all satisfied with their job.
Teachers express much lower job satisfaction than U.S. workers overall: 51% of all employed adults say they are extremely or very satisfied with their job, according to a separate Center survey conducted in early 2023. (Data for U.S. workers excludes those who are self-employed.)
Teachers are especially dissatisfied with certain aspects of the job, including how much they are paid (51% say they are not too or not at all satisfied); the opportunities for training or ways to develop new skills (26%); and the benefits their employer provides (24%).
In fact, 29% of teachers said it was at least somewhat likely they’d look for a new job in the 2023-24 school year. Among these teachers, 40% said it was at least somewhat likely they’d look for a job outside of education entirely.
