I have a buddy that does Air Traffic control for the Military.

The training is extremely tough and thorough, and they try to pile as much stress on you as possible to see if you'll break. His life style is all over the map, he works unusual hours, and is pretty much always on call unless he's on leave. The stress is incredible, and every moment of your day is filled with decision making.

I do know that there is a shortage of air traffic controllers in Canada, especially at the smaller airports, which might be a good place to start.
