Teacher.
As a teacher, I have to say I do get a lot of thank you’s. I get Christmas presents, gift cards, coffee, and hand written letters/cards. Sometimes my students reach out and/or visit me after they graduate. I feel quite valued and thanked. I live in Canada, if that makes a difference.
My wife who is a social worker spends her days slaving over people’s cases and is repeatedly harassed, and has been assaulted countless times. Now that is a thankless job.
Yeah, I'd say living in Canada makes a huge difference. However, I think people answers "teacher" because, all things considered, it's a very hard and valuable job, frequently an underpaid one.
This is highly dependent on what age of students you teach. Elementary teachers get thanked by parents. High school teachers get thanked by graduating students. Middle school teachers…well, not so much.
When I taught middle school, I got thanked a lot, and not just at holidays.
Thank your wife for me. Social workers are the best people for so many reasons.
Thank you, teachers! o7
Youve never been thanked for being a teacher?
Drive-through window clerk gets thanked a lot, too.
This is a perfect response. I could never write anything this succinct :(
No, quite the opposite
