A very volatile and unpredictable industry is the reason why stockbrokers are so stressed out. They’re always screening the market for an opportunity or for any movement in the market that determines their profit or loss.

Their job requires commitment and long hours as well as expertise in their field of work, because if they don’t understand the basics of the market they could lose money. It’s stressful when you’re betting your money against the market but a lot more stressful if it’s not your money but someone else’s, which is mostly the case.

So, there is no room for mistakes because along with the client’s money your job is also on the line, and silly mistakes can hamper a good professional record. Family relationships are also affected because stockbrokers are sometimes also working during weekends. This profession is very competitive because stockbrokers cannot take anything for granted, or else they will have to look for another job.
