How do I cope with the situation of not having burning desires to accomplish anything in the workplace?

Ok so I have been fired two years in a row due to classroom management problems as a teacher. I feel like I m completely lost in life. The only reason I work is because I have to work and don t really have anything I m looking to accomplish at any job. I guess the reason I feel this way is because a key to success in any job is learning, but for my entire life learning has been constant source of frustration to me to a point where I hate learning. I ve battled a comprehension disorder my entire life.

Everything I was taught in school up until now I simply memorized and simply was not able to use any other strategy to learn things other than simple memorization. I could not learn and see things in the big picture, connect ideas to previous learned concepts, or apply any of what I learned to my life. I had extreme trouble mentally picturing words that I read as I could not create mental images of the things I read since the words did not have any meaning to me.

I feel like how learn things has not benefited me at all and that learning is not a meaningful experience for me like it generally is for most people. I just feel like I m at a complete loss. Anyone have any solutions or advice they can give me to deal with this? Thanks a lot!!!

    Well are you working now? Did you ever consider a different career? To be a teacher you have to love what you're doing like learning with your students and if you don't have that then its time to choose a different career.
