I'm off for the summer, but I work as a teaching assitant in university here.
I honestly just really like working with students. The vast majority of them are certainly not stupid and it's great to see when they're actually learning what you're trying to teach them and when they actually get good enough to bring up some cool ideas.

(It's also the fact that I work in the Linguistics department and a lot of what I do isn't marking silly multiple-choice tests, but rather journals and essays, so the work is usually not menial or brainless - or at least there's a good balance between repetitive and relatively creative work)

For my very first academic/teaching job, I get paid really well too
