If you are referring to teaching at the K-12 level in US public schools, I think it's a thankless, demanding job, yes. But can be very rewarding as well. If you choose to do it, you have to accept it for what it is -- a civil service job with lousy pay, long hours, difficult students and parents (in many cases), and lots of administrative b.s.. Teachers who succeed are there because that is what they were meant to do with their lives and they are either able to work around the b.s., or they're exceedingly good at being brown-nosers.

Being a teacher is a very demanding job. If you are an elementary school teacher, you have to teach 20-30 kids. You spend 6 hours a day with them, and you have to structure their day for most effective learning. You design all the lesson plans based on what the school district tells you you must teach and based on what you know your students are capable of learning. You must also adjust your lesson plans for each student with a documented learning disability or other learning obstacle (such as ESL students). You are also responsible for maintaining order in your classroom, making sure the kids are nice to each other, and dealing with the occasional meltdown. And you must communicate with the kids' parents on a regular basis. And don't forget evaluating (grading) student's work every day.
A middle school or high school teacher deals with 100 - 150 kids a day. They must also create their own lesson plans and be ready to modify them for students with learning disabilities. They also have to make the kids behave and pay attention (not easy to do with teens and pre-teens!). And they have to deal with all the parents of all their kids. And they have much more grading to do than elementary school teachers.
Don't forget that teachers get no respect from students or their parents these days. And their pay sucks.
Given all that, it's actually surprising that the one thing I hear teachers complain about most is dealing with their administrators (bosses)!

There are shortages of math and technological know-how instructors everywhere in u . s . a . of america, no longer purely in CA. ESL instructors are mandatory besides, because of the ever increasing immigrant populations. in case you reside in CA and truthfully like foreign places languages, rather spanish, then i could get in touch with college districts close to to the Mexican/American border to verify what varieties of centers are mandatory there. i'm particular that in case you get an ESL degree, you will discover artwork there.

Yes, it is incredibly demanding. You will be drained of your time, energy, patience and good humor. It can be unbelievably exhausting, but it is never boring, you get time off and when everything is 'clicking', it can be terrific.
