I&#x27;ve been at it in this industry for over 20 years now and I don&#x27;t get the kind of clinical burn-out that the author is talking about. I get tired and take a day off, go on vacation or whatever. I also have never had the luxury of being able to go traveling for 6 months (or perhaps I have never just prioritized my life to make that possible).<p>Perhaps it could be if you have supported yourself with a draining, minimum wage job, and a 2nd one in the evenings, struggling to pay rent, then your tolerance for computer work may be much higher? Whenever I get tired, I just have to remember back to my days of slinging cheeseburgers and I feel content with my current situation.
