Hmmm... as a hardworking geek, I must say: F*CK U... I feel very sorry, for those poor bastards aged 12 and working their age in hours every day... but since I can't do much more than donate some of my pay-check (which I do), I must be just a bit narrow-minded and look at my own problems... I have a perfect job, IMO... I show up at the office when I want, and I go home when I want, the stuff i program really helps a lot of people (very important for me:o), and my paycheck I can't complain about.
But as many other ppl has written, physical work is MUCH easier... At a point I got sick and tired of computers, and started working in a kinder-garden... wow, the best time of my life, if I should look at my physical health, and the meaning of my life... And I had great fun too:o)
Still I started missing the computers again... and here I am... stressed out, eating junk-food when I am supposed to eat some good healthy food, drinking anything with caffein, instead of water... and working at night sometimes, and day other times... And you know what... All of a sudden I almost wish to be one of them 12 years old lads working with their muscles!!!
Never underestimate the stress factor of a geeks work!
And just for the record...
I'm not trying to say that geeks are the only ppl in the world with a high stress factor at work, I'm just trying to point out, that the IT-industry are one of them sick-o-industrys with a lot of burned out ppl... and I don't believe for a sec. that they are all just feeling bad for themselves!
Wake up and smell the coffee... we are trying to keep up with stuff that changes, not just everyday, but pretty close to every nano-sec.! That can be pretty mind-tripping!
So if you don't f*cking get it!.. try it and get ready to go down... cause I don't believe you have it in you, to handle that kinda pressure...
