I'm an Air Traffic Controller in the United States Air Force.

That was my MOS before I got injured in basic training (I'm so ashamed). Everyone said it was the most stressful job and that, if I didn't smoke and drink, I would start. Is it really that bad?

Let's just say when I turn 21 (19 currently) the alcohol consumption will begin xD

It's not really as hard as everyone says it is. It is very stressful however. During training the instructors/trainers will simulate the stress in a real time environment by yelling at you, throwing things, or getting right in your face. The point is to weed out the people who just can't take it. The actual work however, is difficult, but easily feasable if you put in the study time.

What are you doing now?

Posting on VGChartz and watching CNN.

Oh, you mean for a living? I can't tell you. It would ruin everything. It pays well and it's pretty satisying. I'll leave it at that.

We share a common thing my fellow vgcharter, yours and my profession are in the top 3 of the most stressful jobs in the world.

1) Air Traffic Controller (You)
2) Stockbroker
3) Teacher/Proffesor (Me)

I feel so special now :)

At least we're not stockbrokers!

Amen to that!!

I'm actually learning to be a stockbroker.
It can be stressful at times, but you just have to see your money as numbers and accept losses. And when you study a stock all day and when you buy it and everything works out, man that feeling is amazing. But when it doesn't work out you're gonna have a bad day :p
