Career as a teacher is high stress job?

According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, occupational stress originates from a variety of issues, including:
· Long hours with few or no breaks
· Employees unable to participate in the decision-making process.
· Job insecurity and large amounts of impending change
· Physical danger
If you want to find a job that is free of stress, you're out of luck. Only characters in movies and on TV have jobs that don't cause occasional hair-pulling or high blood pressure. These are the same people who have huge apartments overlooking skylines and plenty of time to hang out with friends. Their jobs have unbelievably flexible hours. In real life, however, every job you take, no matter how big or small, finds you stressed out once in a while. Whether you're dealing with an endless line of customers, a demanding executive, an uncertain economy or a childish students, anxiety will find you. It's just part of life. Some jobs have more stress than others. That's not to say they're bad jobs, they just require people who are strong enough to handle the increased stress that comes their way. Teacher is one of high stress job in this world that need people who strong enough to handle all those kind of students from several of background.
Therefore, we as future teachers should be ready and been well-prepared with all those things so that we will not end up with feeling of frustrations or regret being in this career in the future.
