There are two kinds of job, as per this classification.
Front-end means that you keep meeting some stakeholders regularly. Teaching happens to be one of them. It could be taxing emotionally, and crisis situations arise sometimes, which have to be tackled, because you are at the scene.
Backend jobs could be an I.T. person who does not meet customers, or a Bank Manager, likewise-compared to a teller who does.
Each of us may have a preference for one type of job over the other, assuming we are in a job. That may depend on our personality and preference. Extroverts usually like interactions, and tend to go more into the front-end jobs. Introverts may like the other type.
A lot of interactions can be exhausting, and some amount of resilience is required. It can perhaps be acquired through practice and observation, or other means. But it has its rewards, in the form of positive feedback from stakeholders when you do a good job. Whether there is an internal reward from the workplace depends on the performance assessment methods followed.
The backend job could be more peaceful, and a reward in itself- noisy surroundings such as in bars or pubs might illustrate this. If you are the type who likes a quiet drink or dinner, the noise can be a distraction.
As I said earlier, to each his/her own..
