Question that seems like a really interesting job, what schooling do you have to do and is it true it is ridiculously stressful? I could only imagine being in control of all that.

It is a really interesting job! Not every day is stressful though, but there are days where you really earn your pay.
There are a few ways to get in if you're really interested. You can join the military as a controller, and then when you get out you are qualified. You can go to college and get an aviation degree, which is what I did even though I was also in the USAF (weather man.) Or you can apply for a slot right off the street. There are certain rules of course as far as age, background checks, if you have any speech problems etc.
Here is a good site:
