I work at a day care center as a teacher in the two's room. I just recently got my degree and have been in this room since the summer. With school starting enrollment is high so they need people bad but I am realizing how much I don't like my job. I feel really guilty for wanting to put in my two weeks because my boss has tried so hard to help me with all the things I struggle with but I am not happy and the children deserve someone who enjoys their job.

I have been in this situation more than once and sometimes I left and sometimes I stayed. The questions I think you should ask yourself are:
1. Are your issues with the line of work or with the specific place of work?
2. What other opportunities are available to you now, or have a high probability (more than 80 percent) of being available to you soon? If you can stand to stay while you line up something else, that is almost always recommended.
3. Are your issues things you would find at any employer doing the same line of work? If you like the line of work you are in and your issues are tied to the line of work, you will have to find a way to make peace with the issues (and/or work to change them).
4. Should you decide to venture out in search of greener pastures, how possible is it to return to your current employer in the event that you need to?
5. Are you better off working for yourself? If you think so, check out the Escape From Cubicle Nation blog by Pamela Slim (www.ganas.com).
6. (Most Important, but frequently overlooked) Are your issues really issues within yourself that will follow you to your next job? If so, stay where you are and work on these issues. Changing jobs will disrupt the routine, giving the appearance for a while that all has been solved but after awhile the issues resurface. If the issues are really inherent to you (generally these issues fall under the category of "unrealistic expectations") then you should address them as soon as possible so that you can enjoy your career, wherever you work.
Best of luck to you....I hope you find happiness in your work, wherever and whatever it may be.

Well, I just started my job a couple of DAYS ago, and am already looking for another (retail, ugh). But I do not really want to because I know they need people... The solution - find another job. Find one in totally different path (not in daycare) and that pays more. That way, whenever you do decide to leave, it won't look like you're "trading" jobs you know? It wil look like you are actually trying something different, and are looking for more stability instead of just leaving because you don't like your job. And maybe you could still work there as needed to keep it positive. A plus - that would mean extra money! And make sure the next job is one you are in love with!

I too have worked in jobs I really didn't enjoy and I have "stuck it out" at times. From past experience, I can tell you that it is best to quit. It is not fair to you or to your boss/employer.
As a parent, I commend you for realizing that you don't enjoy working with children. Those children deserve someone who wants to be with them. If you really don't like your job, your boss should be grateful you are leaving so that she can get someone to replace you who will like being with the children and will therefore do a better job. If she is ethical at all, she will understand.
Good luck to you!

Don't quit your job until you have a new (and hopefully) better job lined up. If you just quit right then and there, you won't have any source of income.
You have to remember ultimately the workplace is #2... YOU are #1 - you have to look out for yourself no matter how bad you feel leaving there.

Stick it out until you find a another job. Its better to have a job lined up before you quit your job.
You have to have money to live. Find another job and then you can resign at the other.
