Should I stop teaching children

Question

Today I teach young children and I am unsure whether to continue in this field.
On the one hand, my outlook is not as pure as that of the children I teach,
and on the other hand it could be that work such as being a warehouseman (which interests me)
would ruin me completely.

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

This is a personal question, and only a rabbi who hears all the details will be able to answer properly. 

You can turn to a rabbi who knows you, or to our teacher Rabbi Amram Fried shlita, between 10:00 and 12:00 at night.
