The study group was composed of 20 teachers working in high schools. Maximum variation sampling, which is a type of purposeful sampling, was used in this study. While teachers working in public schools found teaching restricted as a career, those working in private schools thought they had a more dynamic profession.

A new career system, in which teachers could specialize in their careers and routines could be avoid, could be introduced in both public and private schools.
