Really? Consider some facts from someone who's been there. Controllers often work in a sleep deprived state due in insane rotating shifts (2 swing shifts followed by 2 day shifts followed by a graveyard shift in a single week.) People used to ask what I was going to do after I retired and I would reply "Take a nap", and I meant it. A controller works in an environment of perfection. Mistakes are not tolerated. One wrong word or too long of a pause in keying your microphone could mean disaster for not just a few but for many people. Thus being said, a controller is under constant review in the form of tape reviews and over the shoulder type monitor sessions. A good idea considering the nature of the job. If an error does occur (in any of the air traffic related fields) you are guilty until proven innocent. Heaven help you when the media gets involved. There is nothing like sitting before a NTSB review board because you pronounced the word five as "five" instead of "fife" and an aircraft that you worked had a completely unrelated issue 500 miles away. <br />Lets throw in weather for fun. Working an aircraft during a thunderstorm with wind shears, microbursts, heavy rain, and hail. No one will land, every arrival has to be sent around (cancelling a landing clearance in close proximity to the runway) or the pilots requesting a missed approach (same scenario) only to be mixed in with departures and other arrival traffic an a already crowed and weather impaired sky. It can get so busy that you barely have time to hear the reply of one aircraft before you are talking to the next one. Stress in this situation is "Stressful Traffic Repeated Every Single Session!" Please investigate the daily job of a controller and reconsider the Air Traffic Controller's placement on your job stressful list.
