For me it's the constant existential threat of failure leading to homelessness and starvation that really ratchets up the stress level. I have to keep track of everything and if something slips I'm fucked.

With school all I had to keep track of was classwork. If I slipped there the only consequence was a bad grade and maybe a grounding. I also had plenty of time for activities I wanted to do.
