Ever since I was a little kid I have wanted to become a teacher. My mind was set on it, and it wasn’t going to waver. Every adult who knows I want to go into education always gushes and says I would be perfect at the job, so I know I’m going in the right direction. Wanting to be a teacher does come with less of a salary than some occupations one can have.

Stress is also a factor in choosing and sticking with a job. If one chooses a job they enjoy, they probably won’t be as stressed out because they know what they are doing and they enjoy it, so they are more focused on situations at hand.
