    they dont enjoy what they do?

    My hobby is computers, setting up new servers, installing new software, getting the networking just right.

    My work is computers, so my work and hobby keep me happy.

      Same.

      Clickbait article seems to be (poorly) written about people who are unhappy rather than people in IT. Some overlap doesn’t equate to totality, and you’ll find the same in every profession.

        Yeah, I’d be curious to see how much of this is actually due to America’s lack of worker protection. If I had to work 50+ hours a week, I’d be pretty depressed too.
