I don't think what job you have has anything to do with if you're more prone to hang out on the weekends. Generally, if you're working in a position of narrow scope, odds are your co-workers are going to become some soft of staple in your social life; who better understands you then the people who have the same passion you do which drove you to that working environment?
It makes sense, the workplace puts you on somewhat of a common ground. When i was working in SF, we hung out afterwork and on weekends in a huge group. We were all different, but all shared the same passion for technology, and the same passion for beer (this helps) and since we enjoyed each others company at work, it spilled over into social gatherings as well.
The same would hold true outside the tech industry, but it's even truer, i gather, within the industry, especially in smaller towns and cities where it can be hard to find anyone other than your coworkers who even know what SSH is.
So yeah, IT people/can/ be social and fun and hang out with each other.. it's the people, not the job.
Well I know saying SUDBURY would mean nothing to the americans here.. but honestly, Sudbury is nowhere near Kingston.. it's like reporting on a story and saying near Las Angelas when you're talking about San Francisco.
