What's your real view on teachers?

In my childhood, I was taught that teacheers are the most selfless workers in the world, and I was told that teachers impart their precious wisdom to their students without asking for return so they are great and repectable. However, to be honest, I don't agree all that above when I was young, I just thought that those who become a teacher is , in fact, just for get paid to support themselves, namely, teaching is just a kind of ordinary job like other pursuits. I wanna say that teachers do cultivate countless students from innocent to konwledgable, and they tell the right from wrong, but that's their work and tasks instead of selfless donation, so they seems to be "over"-respected since their contributions seem just almost equal to other workers in various fields. Now I've grown up, and many of my former ideas seem unilateral, what do you think of the teachers' job, they are greatest, or just ordinary?
