"It isn't always easy, no matter what you choose to work in. There will always be stress, deadlines, and everything is an emergency or critical. But that is what makes this position so exciting, and challenging. There is always a different problem every day, the fun part is finding the solution. It is incredibly fulfilling to know you can make a difference. The fact you are needed, and depended upon. When you are a manager in any position, it all boils down to the team you are given or you build."
