IT professionals have similar lives to others who work in high stress jobs like themselves. They probably work long hours and they have a lot of frustrations due to the type of job that they have to do. One frustration is dealing with the public. Even though there are many jobs that deal with the public, most of those that they come in contact with are rude and angry because they need help figuring out the problem with their electronic device.
These professionals may prefer another job at some point in their lives and so there is probably a high rate of turnaround because these professionals are intelligent and get paid money but the job is very stressful. They spend a lot of time thinking and I think they get burned out.
