No but I remember teachers acting like life is worth living. Only to find out life is just suffering till you die.
Teachers are usually optimists, I think. The idea that your students will someday be excellent [although now, they are little snots] is part of the appeal of any kind of teaching or coaching. It’s sort of an abstract benefit, since teachers rarely get any credit for what they do, but still, it’s great to find out that someone you taught or trained is now hugely successful at the thing you helped them learn.
Teachers can't afford to be pessimistic about your future. And you can go on adventures, at least if you live in Europe. Road trips are amazing and since most people speak 3 languages the options are massive. Even hiking in a single country can be enough
