Right now, I'm taking classes, only one of which I chose for the topic instead of because I thought the teacher would be more likely to be sympathetic. I like drawing and cooking and reading and writing and talking and teaching (which they're not letting me do this semester because there were limited spots and I got one last semester) and learning things that are useful in some way, even if only in organizing my own thoughts or intriguing interlocutors.
How much more grad school do you have to go to your degree? This sounds like a profile of a teacher at some level, probably high school or college. The degree makes college an option. High school teaching may be more enjoyable for you; I don't know.
If you're a year away from your PhD, it probably makes sense to stick it out. If it's three years... three years is a long damn time to be unhappy somewhere.
The exact amount of time isn't fixed, but it taking less than three years would be surprising. I like the idea of teaching, maybe art or (at a sufficiently quirky school) logic/critical thinking, but don't have a certification and it looks like they take a long time to get.
