If Filch hates Hogwarts so much, why does he still have the job?

Filch seems to hate students, dirty messes of Hogwarts, and pretty much magic in general. I know he is aspiring to overcome his Squibness, but there must be many better jobs than a janitor at a Middle-High school.
Why does Filch feel obligated to be a janitor at Hogwarts?

Seeing students get punished (the more brutally the better) makes Filch happy.
I don't think he really hates his job at Hogwarts. He really hates students, but he loves seeing them get punished. For example, he gets really happy when Harry et al. are going to the Forbidden Forest for punishment:
“I bet you’ll think twice about breaking a school rule again, won’t you, eh?†[Filch] said, leering at them. “Oh yes… hard work and pain are the best teachers if you ask me… It’s just a pity they let the old punishments die out… hang you by your wrists from the ceiling for a few days, I’ve got the chains still in my office, keep ‘em well oiled in case they’re ever needed… Right, off we go, and don’t think of running off, now, it’ll be worse for you if you do.â€Â
They marched off across the dark grounds. Neville kept sniffing. Harry wondered what their punishment was going to be. It must be something really horrible, or Filch wouldn’t be sounding so delighted.
The fact that he's not allowed to use "the old punishments" bothers him, but it looked to me like he was just waiting it out. He did eventually get more freedom under Dolores Umbridge.
