While increased stress might be associated with teaching as a career, there is no sound basis for a causal relationship between increasing stress and teaching. Simply put, it would be unwise to increase stress just because we need more teachers since there is no concrete basis for this belief. Confounding factors such as increased job security for teachers or better salaries for teachers may be making more students choose teaching as a career.
