You would hope they would have the attitude that "I'm doing this
because I enjoy it and because it's helping the kids", because
education is such an important part of our society. 

I know that the young ladies I'm friends with who are going into
education are doing it because they genuinely love it. It is entirely
posisble that some people have gotten jaded over the time they've been
teaching...
