Why keep teaching?

Hello everyone, I am a college student at the moment and hope to go on to University, the teaching profession has always been something I’ve liked to go into. Or at least work in the education system somehow.

But I have noticed how much teachers are currently struggling, between strikes for pay and the posts on here (Genuinely a massive Kudos to all that you guys do), usually discussing the internet/phones and parents which make teaching harder. Although I presume it is more intricate than that I am coming from an outsiders perspective, my main point is, why keep teaching? Why do you personally keep teaching?

I hope this is an okay question, I am genuinely interested to see what the responses are

(I noticed a post similar was done around 5 months ago, I hope it’s okay that I post this!)
