How is air traffic control stressful?

I think sitting up in the air traffic control tower and watching planes take off and land would be pretty cool. I realize you have to stay on your feat and the safety of the flights is kind of on you. How else is this job stressful? The only requirement I don't have is a solid 2-3 year work experience. I'm almost 19. If I wanted to get this kind of job would route would I need to take? I'm guessing joining the Air Force would be the best route?
