Is primary teaching that bad?

Hey there, I'm currently a year 13 student who has applied to Sheffield Hallam to study Primary Education (5-11) with QTS. But ever since I applied for my place there, I've had lots of negative comments from people when I've told them that I have applied to be a teacher. I come from a family that has many primary and secondary teachers, and they've all warned me about the realities of such a job, including: underpayment, long working hours, taking on more responsibilities than the job role entails etc... I also have family members who have quit the profession due to the stressful realities, and as someone who has applied for this course for 2024 it has made me question my decision. Similarly, my college teachers have questioned me whether it is the right profession for me. I've always loved the idea of teaching, but hasn't been something that I've been completely set on, even more now after applying. I understand that the education system is completely underfunded and modern society is making a job in primary teaching becoming increasingly harder. I would really appreciate to hear from student teachers/ anyone that can advise me what to do in this situation. Thank you!
